CHRISTMAS TIME!

Last night was my school Christmas party. It was really fun! My first gift was a shave me Barbie which was hilariously disgusting. It had a brown mustache, beard, arm pit hair and really hairy legs! But that got stolen fast! Jake’s first gift was a huge gold bowling trophy. But that got stolen fast too, the rumor was it had real gold plating!! Jake’s final present was the best though, A man that moons people when you pump up this football! It was a pretty funny party! Some of the funniest comments made were about a hot pink top with tassels on the boobs. All of the men thought the tassels were HOT!!
After the Christmas party we tried to take a picture for our family Christmas card. We are too big for our little tree so we gave up! One of my students saw this picture on my computer and said, “Teacher you look HUGE compared to your tree!” Definitely not sending this out then!!

The Thanksgiving break was so much fun!! We went out to Colorado to visit Kristal and Christian and Alexa one last time before they move back. As usual the drive was terrible, me and Shelly about drove Jake crazy with our lovely singing. I was especially excited to go to Colorado because I had not been since Alexa was born and I really wanted to see her room and all of her clothes! Her closet was of course ridiculously organized, separated by age and then color! It was so much fun to see all of her cute clothes and I dressed her in the cutest outfit ever! Thanksgiving was really nice, Jake was set on playing football with everyone even though we sent him and Christian to play it all morning with some of Christian’s friends. So the guys and me and Shelly were the only ones brave enough to go out in the freezing cold. They tried to have us run real plays but we really had no idea what was going on so we would just run at each other and hit and try to tackle. They finally gave up on us and just tried to teach us some plays and have us practice them. It was pretty much a joke but it was fun! We also went to see Twilight. It was really good but apparently I am annoying to sit by in movies because I can’t whisper but I wanted to explain the parts of the movie that they left out so Jake would enjoy it better! I don’t think it made much of a difference though it was just a chick flick to him! The rest of the weekend was just relaxing. We became obsessed with guitar hero, trying to win Christian more songs. We also discovered the battle mode in guitar hero. I loved it so much better because I actually stood a chance at winning! We had such a fun weekend down in Colorado but I am so glad they are moving here soon so I will no longer have my Alexa withdrawals!
