Vacation

It's a little depressing that vacation is almost over. I'm glad to have something to do everyday again, but I was kind of getting used to having a lot of Sam time and being able to sleep in!!!! I had a nice Christmas dinner with Kyler, Erik, and Julie on Friday night before leaving early Saturday morning for Maine.

Right off the plane we drove up to Zack and Brit''s to have Christmas with them, my grandparents, and aunt and uncle Sunday morning. 

Christmas was fun, and Colton  enjoyed playing with the tissue and wrapping paper more than his presents. 

Merry Christmas! 

It was a nice, relaxing day, with lots of food and opening of presents! 

I spent a few days up at Zack and Brit's and we had a lot of fun playing, shopping, and eating!! 

Auntie....I can't move!!!!

Before I knew it, it was time to head to Hollis....I hadn't been home since July!!!

Please Christmas Don't Be Late

I can't wait to be home in Maine next weekend!!! It's hard to get in the Christmas spirit when work is extremely busy and stressful, the weather is warm, and there is no snow or Christmas parties to go to! I was supposed to host a Christmas cookie and yankee swap party today but everyone was sick or their plans changed....so I baked 4 batches of cookies by myself while watching the PATS win (disgustingly, but they won).

I made sugar cookies (shown to the right and left), almond sugar cookies (thanks for the idea mom), and gingerbread boys and girls for the kiddos at school!









I'm hoping to do some fun activities with the kids this week....we don't get to do enough fun, learning activities. I would love to make gingerbread houses, but the cost and time for 27 kids to do that makes it to difficult!

Merry Christmas!
