2010 Month by Month

I had fun looking through my pictures from this past year as I made this scrapbook album! We sure did have some fun!

Christmas Pics....Finally

So I am pretty late with the Christmas pictures. I am doing my student teaching and it takes a lot of time!!! I am so used to being a stay at home mom (who is never at home because I am volunteering in the kids' classes). And since I have to work Mon-Fri, Scott had to change his schedule to weekends so we don't have to put kids in day care (I just wouldn't be able to handle that!). But now I never see Scott! But while I am at work, he runs carpool, does laundry, grocery shops, cooks, and helps the kids with homework. It's kinda nice ;)

So this Christmas was the best yet. I may say that every year, but I mean it!!! On Christmas Eve we went to a beautiful service at our new church. Then we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. I usually make a big meal, but then it is stressful. So this year we just went out. And it was awesome. A new tradition!

We spent Christmas morning just the 6 of us. I love that! We opened presents forever! The kids were so fun! Santa brought Kyler a telescope. The twins got DSI game systems. And Laynee got a Leapster. She was a little mad that it wasn't a DSI! Then we told her it was a DSI- just a different color. She was good with that and has been enjoying the game ever since. On Christmas night, Scott's parents came over for a traditional turkey dinner with all of the fixings. First Christmas in our new, gorgeous house was a HUGE success!

More Holiday Festivities

I can't get enough of all the fun holiday festivities! So much fun!

So we went to see Childs Play Theater do the play "Junie B: Jingle Bells, Batman Smells." I wasn't too sure what to think but was pleasently suprised by how funny it was!! We got the kids elf hats just like Junie B's. They were adorable!

Every year we make gingerbread houses.....

And today it was overcast and cold, so we did a little extra baking and this fun craft. We made Christmas trees out of waffle cones, frosting, and candy. The kids had a blast making them and eating them!

DONE, DONE, DONE!

I finished my very last class! And I finished with a perfect straight A grade point average. A couple of days ago I found out that I passed my state certification exam! I am ready to start my internship in January. As nervous as I am, I actually think I am going to have a lot of fun.

Scott finished his first semester in his Master's program too. He's a smarty pants.
