The girls and I are off school until January 7th, yippee! My last day was Wednesday and theirs was Thursday. The girls decorated my homework board with a Christmas message on Wednesday morning. They wanted to personalize the picture by labeling the gifts under the tree with my students' names.
Wednesday and Thursday the girls took 11 jars of pumpkin butter as gifts for all their teachers and bus drivers. I was pleased with the Christmas-y look of the finished product. Charles and the girls helped by picking out the holiday pattern for the fabric.
While they were at school Thursday, I went to the doctor for a check-up and flu shot and then came home to finish Christmas projects while I had time alone. Thankfully, most was completed and wrapped before I had to go pick the girls up from school.
Earlier this week the girls were given some homemade Play-doh by our FCS teacher at school. A babysitter had started making it for them last week, and she finished it and left it in my mailbox at school. Since Charles never lets the girls play with Play-doh because of the mess and the smell, they've been enjoying a rare treat in making creations and rolling and shaping to their hearts' delight. Thursday they had a show of their creations for me.
Sophie also enjoyed eating very large green grapes this week and sticking them in her cheeks while doing so. She learned this little trick from her father.
Yesterday we wrapped gifts and baked various goodies for our Moyers Christmas today. We're excited to see Kelly, Carter, and Jon and enjoy good food and time together. One of the treats prepared yesterday was homemade cinnamon rolls, which we will eat with breakfast casserole after opening our stockings together. More details on this celebration will surely follow.
And last but not least, I leave you with a photo of a cute little elf, sent to me by her 1st grade teacher:
