I LOVE my job, but this Christmas Break was one of the most needed in my teaching career thus far! Our entire family has been burning the candle at both ends, so it was nice to get to spend a few days with Addie and Hubby. Here are just a few things that we did during our time together:

-Taught Addie how to sleep in past 6am. (She is used to waking up at 5am with us for work!!!)

-Attempted to make some holiday baking classics (and a few new recipes) with Sis

-Shared LOTS of dinners, breakfasts, and lunches with family

-Had a FUN dinner with one of my FAVORITE people!

-Made Christmas crafts with Ryder and Parker

-Spent time with friends and family from out of town

-Spent 7 hours with a crew building Addie’s AWESOME new swing set (thanks Gigi and G-pa)

-Made tea with Addie in her new play kitchen (thanks Mimi and Papa)

-Pulled roots on our FUTURE PROPERTY

-Received our finalized blueprints to our NEW HOUSE

With such a great break it was easy to go to school with a smile on my face! I am so thankful for the chance to spend a few days with my favorite people. Here’s to an AMAZING 2015!
