Christmas is coming!

Well, we had the first Christmas program this year at church..the boys did very well.  Eric had his first showing of piano playing, as he played "Away in a Manger" for the prelude with some other kids.  He did great!  They both sang and had a line in the program.  They looked so handsome and grown up in their new shirt and ties.  Eric has his school program tomorrow night!
Mom, dad, Allen and Myrna came over to see it.  Salazar's were visiting Troy for the weekend, but they will be here for Eric's program...including Aunt Christy, who made it home from Alaska with Ava and Ady on Dec. 8.  After church we had lunch at my house...Eric's bday was Friday and Dad's was today, so we celebrated both. 
We will get done on Wed this week.  one regular day tomorrow and 2 semester tests days and vacation!  I can't wait.  Kelly went to work tonight so he will be home Thursday to start the holidays.  I will go trucking with him next Sun/Mon and then we head to get Jack and Pres on Tues-Sun.  Most of my shopping is done, just have to finish wrapping and call it quits.  Seemed like a lot of work this year, but most of my shopping had to be done at night after school, that makes it a little challenging!
Eric turned 9 on Friday, as I said.  He got new golf clubs, Bronco lounge pants, Bronco golf balls and golf hat, fleece jacket, Nike sweatshirt and Wii game.  He was pretty happy!  Alic had the flu on Friday, so he and I spent the afternoon at home...good time for me to catch up on some work and Christmas cards...they are finally in the mail!!!!
Well, that's about it...Merry Christmas everyone! May your holidays be blessed with happiness!!!

Relaxing, productive snow day!

Well, Dec. 11 and here is our first HUGE storm of the year!  I do not remember it being this bad for years!  The snow drift on my deck was at my thigh by noon.  I ventured out to the grocery store and practically lost myself in the blowing snow.  We probably have 5-6 inches already.  Kelly blew out the drive once already, but froze doing it, so another round tomorrow and I chould be good to go. 
I am having my secretaries, elementary principal and business manager over tomorrow night for a holiday soup supper, so I decided to make some candy pretzels and quick sugar cookies for the boys to decorate.  We are having vegetable beef, chili and homemade chicken noodle soup and ice cream sandwich dessert.  I can't wait!  I cleaned this morning, wrapped some presents this afternoon and now just relaxing in my chair, shopping online, and catching up on my friends' blogs.
Tonight Kelly and I are headed to a Christmas party here in town...yes, it is still on!  It is a formal event, so I bought a new (on sale) dress and can't wait...sounds to be great fun with great people.  I will post pics later!  My final goal this weekend is to get my Christmas cards out.  I have had them ready for weeks, but boy am I draggin' my feet on addressing them!!! uuugghhhh.  Such work! LOL
Well, if you are snowed in, hope you are enjoying it as much as I am...until another time, take care!
