Monday Morning Musings

I just love weekends like this one.  It was a nice mix of work and play.  I really got quite a lot of work done this weekend and I also was able to stop and enjoy time with our family doing fun holiday things.

And in merely 5 days, I will be on holiday break.  Hallelujah.  Although I know my fifthsters will be wild & crazy this week, we sadly have a lot of work to do before break…so hopefully everyone will cooperate and we can enjoy the next five days.  :)

Saturday night, our family enjoyed a little smorgasbord of frozen pizza, rolls, chips & salsa, and chicken to go along with our first Christmas movie of the season.


This was Kaitlyn's first experience with The National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.  Kevin & I cracked up more just listening to Kaitlyn's belly laughs.  It was so hilarious.  Kevin shot this picture of our night.  I just love how peaceful it looks


Peaceful not for long with a ridiculous dog around…


Once we got Riley under control, we enjoyed a little carmel apple cider.  It's our home version of the Starbucks classic.  If you haven't tried it, go now.  You'll thank me.  Promise.


After Kaitlyn went to sleep, Kevin and I sat up on our respective devices listening to Christmas music.  He shot this picture of our beautiful tree.  I love the quote above our door about Home (it says "Home…where laughter is shared & memories begin") and the Crucifix on the other side of the door.  I just stare at it every single day.  It's so peaceful.


And to top of this weekend, I spent two hours wrapping gifts.  I still have a few left before I'm done - but I am doing MUCH better than usual for still having 10 days before Christmas.  I'm pretty proud of myself.  :)


I think that's it for this Monday Morning.  That was quite a photo dump - sorry bout that.  :)

Happy Monday -
