In case you are wondering how I'm dealing after my last post, I'm still mad. Not raging inferno mad, more like hot coals; doesn't look that warm, but will burn you if handled too much.
Anyhoo, aside from my deep disappointment in humanity, November and December have been pretty amazing. I participated in the #30daysofthankfulness challenge again this year, this time with both my personal and teacher Instagram account. I don't particularly like doing it during the challenge itself, but I love how it prepares my mind and my heart for the season of Advent. This year, I had some pretty amazing things and people to be thankful for:
- Our awesome librarian was able to arrange for a local Oklahoma author to come share his stories with every class in our building.
- I was able to help setup and witness the nuptials of a dear friend. This was my fourth wedding in two months!
- A friend from high school blessed my class in an incredible way! We don't get a chance to get together and catch up often, but it is wonderful to know that someone I get to see once a year still thinks about and prays for me.
December brings the only thing that gets me through the cold weather: Christmas!!! I love the holiday season, and I love being able to share it with my kinders.
- Our class elf made it's appearance on Dec. 1st! My kinders named it Rainbow, and have loved all the holiday activities that our elf has introduced.
- Christmas also brings presents. I was so surprised to receive a package from my mom with fun new hair! I can't wait to play around and install a new hairstyle or make a new wig with these.
Only 6 days left until Winter Break and a full-fledge Christmas frenzy!
Happy Holidays!
