Christmas is my favorite time of year!

Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping... its way more fun to open a present when its been wrapped than when its in a bag.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Real!!! I love the smell and the look, plus the cats are less likely to climb the tree if its real
3. When do you put up the tree? the Saturday after Thanksgiving... I like to enjoy it as long as possible.
4. When do you take the tree down? the night before whenever the trashman is coming to pick it up...as long as its after the new year
5. Do you like eggnog? NO
6. Favorite gift received as a child? Wow... that's hard. I was very blessed and recieve many wonderful presents. I don't think I can pick just one.

8. Easiest person to buy for? haha.... myself, but thats really selfish. It always is tempting though.
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Well... yes, sort of... it's on a display plate, but since it's not separate pieces that you can play with I don't think that it counts. I would love one though... hint, hint.... that would be a great gift for me this year. :)
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail! I love Christmas cards... I have already sent a lot of them out! I just think it is really fun to get mail!

Happy Thanksgiving... I'm just a little late!

The last week has gone by so quickly! I guess that's just what happens around the holidays. Well, our thanksgiving was great. We had lots of good time with family and great food! My Aunt Jeanne, Uncle Rob, and cousin Robert visited from Virginia. It was really fun to see them since it had been so long since the last visit. These pictures are from when they came and visited our house.



Here are some pictures of one of my geometry classes this week. On Wendesday all of the 2nd block classes had Christmas parties and got presents for a child from a local preschool.

Our little girl liked Hanna Montana... this is her opening her new Hanna Montana Guitar!


This is my document camera and projector... my two most favorite teaching tools! I can put and thing on it and it projects on to the screen at the front of the room. :)

My 1st period geometry class... hard at work learning. I didn't ask them to pose or anything. This is actually what they were doing.

It wasn't really fair this day... 1st period these guys had to work and 2nd period got to have a party.
We're going to the Mavs game tonight! I'm so excited...
