I thought maybe I should update it this month! We have been busy enjoying the Christmas hustle bustle and the quiet reflections as well. Mary and Elijah are so fun this year. They, like all kids, are excited about getting presents, but they are so aware of the fact that we are celebrating Jesus' birthday. I have to say, I know it isn't a popular idea, but I think it helps that Christmas at our house is not about Santa. Elijah has really matured this year. Last year it was really hard for him to understand when the other kids at daycare kept telling him about Santa and his parents kept insisting that Santa is pretend "and don't say anything to the other kids!" This year he has been able to enjoy things like Rudolph for what it is--pretend and keep his yapper shut about it to the other kids.
As this week comes to a close I will be so glad for a break from teaching. I have always loved being a teacher and many years have felt like, "Sure I'll take the break, but I don't really NEED it." This year--I need it. I will be so happy to hang out in my pjs and watch movies. We will be traveling to Cleveland, OH to see Brian's family over New Years', Brian and Dallas are recording their album (due in April), but other than that we are doin' a whole lot of nothin'!!!
Ooh, that reminds me. We haven't watched Charlie Brown Christmas yet this year.
