Homework, Assessing, Programs, Baking, Sports, Dance, Shopping, Shopping Shopping...oh my!

I am just posting today as mostly a reminder to me to slow down, breath and enjoy the season. Christmas is truly my favorite time of the year. I love all the time spent with my three girls and my wonderful husband, but it seems every year things get a little busier and a little more chaotic so today is my reminder to enjoy the little things. So here is a random post about the little things...

*sisters shopping for each other and making this momma proud :)
*shopping with my husband and treasuring those few hours together as just the two of us
*working on my homework with the family all helping out
*winning basketball games and those proud mom moments (GO M! GO B!)
*5 more student days until Christmas break
*students making wonderful progress this school year
*hand written cards, lots of hugs, and smiles from students
*new winter coat
*husband taking care of supper
*Christmas decorations
*Christmas lights
*Christmas music
*morning that the girls get up without a fuss
*outside recess
*hot chocolate with marshmallows
*finding the perfect gift at a good price

I have so much to be thankful for this year and today is my day to slow down, breathe and be happy about it all :) Merry Christmas!!!
