guess what, everyone?
i went home for thanksgiving!!
it was wonderful.

worth the 22 hour drive...
the sitting in traffic...
the drawn-out games of rook...
the packing...
the loss of sleep...

i'd do it all again.

now i am back in va
and into a month that school teacher's struggle with
as it overloads their already full schedule...

not to worry.
what other time of year can rival december?

the fluffy snowflakes...
the smell of baking gingerbread...
excitement of gifts and of secrets...
christmas lights strung beside the road.

i'd give much to make christmas happen.

Ha...I never actually saw the snowman out there. I guess the boys were on to something when they said the charcoal was too big. =)

How fun that you were able to go to MN and see your family briefly!
Blessings as you enjoy, labor, embrace this holiday season and all that comes with it!

A new post!! :-) I am so glad you were able to come home and spend those precious hours with your family. Did you do the gingerbread houses with your students yet?
