Yikes- I am about ready for an update!

I finally have a chance to sit down and think, type, relax! Don't get me wrong, the holidays have been very enjoyable, but it just felt like every minute of my time was booked into somewhere or something. I am home today, with some grocery shopping to do, a gift exchange with the girls from University, and then its CHILL time! Jess (from China) was my secret Santa, and part of her gift was a whole album of DVDs! YAY! So I am going to choose one tonight and veg!

So, yes I did make it through the last day of work. Surprisingly, they were very well behaved. They showered me with hugs and gifts- too cute! Lots of coffee, mugs, chocolate and things like that.
One little girl even played the piano for me at lunch as part of her present- she had practiced and rehearsed some christmas songs. Very dear.
Another little boy gave me a box of peanut brittle- he sooooo excited!
He says "Ms. Getz, it's brittle! It's brittle!"
And I was very aware of this.
"Do you remember?" he continues, "brittle, it was one of our spelling words!?" I almost squeezed him to death. That day when he left, I thanked him for the 'brittle'. He said, "Your welcome for the spelling word Ms. Getz". Too cute.

I have close to a million and one pictures from the holidays already ( yes, a silly exaggeration dale). I am going to try to keep ahead of the game- so a slideshow will be coming your way very soon!
