Getting in the Spirit

Thanks to mi madre, and a gracious roommate- our home was filled with laughter, Christmas goodies & music, along with the makings for pretty Christmas ornaments. 

It was a nice time of letting creative whims whisk us away from the crazy week we just experienced. Thanks to the supplies my mother sent up, the company and treats that were provided, I was beginning to feel like I could enjoy the holiday season, even though it's 40 degrees outside!

And there's only one more week left until I am back in the lower 48!!! Here's to 7 days of preparation for the Christmas program, Christmas parties and Christmas gifts!

Ice Ice Baby

It's 40 degrees.

It's warm.

It's not normal.

And there is nothing but ice baby. Talk about a slide and slide on the way to school. I have to be very careful while walking at o' dark thirty simply b/c I am not fully awake to realize what I am doing at that time.

I am grateful, however, that Bogart is home in Boise for I fear for his hips when he runs on this sort of icy ground. Thanks mom and dad for keeping him safe at home!
