I know people have strong opinions about putting up Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving but I don't care! I wanted them up and I put them up! I feel this year more than ever I'm excited to have some Christmas cheer in the house. With all the stress of 2020 it's nice to have a cozy beautiful space to hang at home. I have NO regrets! Scott even put up our outdoor lights which he HATES doing so much but he did it anyway. I'm so happy to be home and soak it all up! I have a tree in our main room, in my bedroom, a tiny one in the shed, and the girls have a tiny one in their room. Love it! My friend Jaynee gave me her old tree and it looks beautiful! It makes me so happy!
The last week of school with my students was good. I will be sad to be online with them for the next while but I was happy we got a month with them in person. We made my mom's recipe of taco soup and almost all of the students loved it so that was fun. So many of them were surprised it was good. It was funny. I got a craft ready for a homework assignment for my junior high kids and just decided to do it with my high school kids. On Thursday and Friday with my high schoolers we made holiday rice krispies balls (rice krispies in balls sprinkled with Christmas colors) and made a mason jar candle holder. It was fun.
I'm so excited to have the next week off. I love a teacher's work schedule so much! We don't really have any plans. Scott has to work Wednesday and Friday so it's not long enough for us to go to Arco. We usually go to Arco for Thanksgiving so I will be sad to not do that this year. I think this might be our first Thanksgiving at home. I will try to do something fun with the kids. I don't know what. I want to have them all help me do some cooking. We will spend several days getting ready making some homemade goodness. Well that's all!

| Gabby made a bunch of snowflakes to hang in the girls' room. |
 |
| Lights up! (I may or may not buy a bunch of candy canes to line the other side of the walkway). |
 |
| Shed tree! |
 |
| Not sure if that wreath will last. It's annoying to shut the door with it. It looks cute for now. |
 |
| The green lantern Gabby made. That is the one I'm having my students make. |

| Our old Christmas tree. Now in my room covered with the kid ornaments. |
