Andrew decorating the tree
finished product!
I had to teach until the 21st so for our class Christmas party we had a secret santa gift exchange where all the kids were assigned one student to bring a present for $1 or less max. It was so fun to see the kids open their presents and so excited about them! Then we watched Polar Express and drank hot chocolate and played some Christmas games.
It was so nice to have a break from school. It was definitely much needed. I slept in as late as I could to make up for a whole semesters lack of sleep. After being in Colorado, I now know why moms who blog post mostly with pictures of their kiddos. I couldn't stop taking pictures of my adorable nephews. I couldn't get enough of them! They are at such a fun stage right now.
