We had a crazy Christmas! Campus closed for two weeks and it was a nice holiday with my family! Danica was sick Christmas week. Maverick was sick New Year's week and when it was time for me to go back to work- I woke up with pink eye! Then it traveled to Maverick and then to Mema. Mema took the sickies back to her house that weekend and I cleaned my house top to bottom! What a break! But Christmas was great and the kids received tons of stuff. We asked family to come over the afternoon of Danica' birthday to celebrate. She wanted a Rainbow Dash themed birthday party, so I obliged (of course).
The best part was Uncle Travis' visit. He spent Christmas week with us. The moment he arrived into town his mom took him to the grocery store and he hand picked the very ingredients he would need for his favorite sister-in-law (that's me) to make her famous Manicotti. Of course I did! I would do anything for my baby brother! So I made it on Christmas eve and let the boys hang out. Needless to say, the "Santa" gifts that were supposed to be put together for Christmas morning were presented to Maverick in boxes! But it's o.k. Joe and Travis put them together for him Christmas day and all was well with the world!
I can't believe my baby girl is 6! We took her to get her ears pierced and that was her gift from us (she received enough stuff for Christmas and at her birthday party). She chose pink studs and only cried for a few seconds after they pierced both ears at the same time. She is doing a great job taking care of them and has asked for a pair of blue topaz earrings once she is allowed to change them out.
Joe and I were invited to a New Year's Eve party by one of my closest friends in high school. It was nice to catch up with her! We are already making plans to hang out again.
Back to the grind again. I am teaching Crisis Intervention this semester and LOVE it! Teaching Counseling is truly my calling. We have so much fun in my class! We're also saving money to put a fence around our yard- so the extra cash helps :)
I'm also planning a trip to Florida soon! I am officially a GREAT Aunt to Ally Rose, born January 9. I'm anxious to meet her and see Lanie and Kayla! I'll probably be going in March!
