Of Christmas Past

Finally home. Looking forward to another Feast of the Seven Fishes (pretending we're Italian) and family. Enjoy the holiday!

Christmas 2008. It snowed for 3 days straight and Monty and Tenby made a peace treaty. Notable guests: Charla's first Christmas. Notable food: Those 7 fish again. Notable gift: The Fair Isle sweaters.

Christmas 2007. Notable guests, Frank Jones. Notable meal, the soup that contained all of the seven fishes (HRPWR - can you confirm?) Notable gift (that has changed us forever....), the onion goggles.

Is this '05? Look at those blond roots! That was the year of the Christmastini....

Moving on...

Transitions are a funny thing for me and I sort of have a strange way of dealing with them - known as the laughcry. Really laughing and really crying at the same time. I'm leaving my kiddies today as my master's practicum comes to an end. How did I turn into such a sap?

There were days like this:

And days like this:

But I think nothing will top the notes I received from the kids today...
A few of my favorite lines:

Thank you Miss Weiss you are a great teacher even though I didn't say a word in your class.

Thank you for making me read Hamelt.

Freakin' sweet you got a job!

I'm a going to a miss you and I'm a going to come to your job with you, kai? bai!

Holiday time: I'm as crazy as...

...a person at the post office. I think many people just save up any insanity they possess, wait until they get in a line of a 100 people at the post office, and unleash. Incredibly long story short, if you find me a bit "off" I'm sure I caught it there. Wanted to share a few holiday orders going out!
