Merry Christmas!!!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!!! I'll have a new post up after all the festivities. They started for us today... Christmas with my parents and sister! Tomorrow we have Jon's family in the afternoon and then the Steenie side at night. Then Christmas morning we have Christmas with the Barr side! Busy busy, busy, but I LOVE it!!!

Light Show

Ok... so all of you are probably not going to think this is funny at all... but I DO!!! There are quite a few evenings, when I am sitting home, where I look back at old posts on my blog. This is one that will always make me laugh!

I absolutely love my school and love the staff I work with. We are all quite young and make work a lot of fun! We only have 3 male teachers and 2 of them teach 5th grade. The one in particular is hilarious. He sends out whole staff emails frequently about the funniest things, just to lighten peoples days. Well, today the other 5th grade teacher emailed us, and the funny one responded. I COULDN'T QUIT LAUGHING!!! So, I decided to share this one with you. Again, you may not laugh, but at least in a couple months when I look back at it, I will! :)

A quick inside scoop: Ben, normally the funny one, is hosting our Christmas party this Friday. He has been gone A LOT lately with different meetings, and I have been his sub!

Here is the email :) P.S. what they write is NOT true! :)

Jeff: "I saw Ben's house on TV last night due to his awesome light show. I thought I'd just give everyone a peek at what they will get to see on Friday! No wonder he volunteered to have the party."

Ben's Light Show!

Ben: "You should see the back yard! A live nativity scene spoken in 12 different languages and a Santa's workshop made entirely out of sugar cubes and coffer creamer. What do you think I'm doing with all my sub days... this stuff doesn't just happen."

(Hope you at least enjoyed the light show) :)

Not Sure Why... :)

Saw this on another blog today while bored and looking at lots of others blogs. Thought it was super cute! The song just has a catchy tune...

Lucky Day

I would have to say today gets the title of "My Lucky Day." I have really never been the type of person to enter myself into drawings. I used to, but NEVER won anything. You all know I love reading random peoples blogs... Well, many of these people have weekly giveaways. I never used to enter these either, until not long ago, my friend Kari actually won something! (and gave the super cute camera strap to me:)) Sweet, these things are for real! Every since then, I enter every single giveaway I can. Well, guess what friends?? I ACTUALLY WON! I got home from work today, checked my email, and in the inbox was an email titled "Giveaway Winner." I couldn't believe it! So anyways... enter away... its worth the 2 minutes!

Here is a picture of what I won...

Lovin' This Time of the Year!!!

The first snow fall is one of my favorite things to look forward to every year. As much as I despise the snow, driving in it, being cold... I still love the first time the ground is covered in a blanket of white! It just means that the holiday season is getting even closer! It also makes the Christmas lights look so much better! :) However, right now, I am enjoying sitting in my living room, nice and WARM, enjoying my Christmas tree, watching the snow fall outside!!

The lights on our house! Hubby did a great job! :)

Our Christmas tree!
