Christmas Vacation

Our winterwonderland!














I thought my homemade caramel latte looked cool this morning... anyway...















It has been too long since I updated this... thought since the last post was "summer vacation", this one should be titled "Christmas Vacation". :)
I am half way done with my masters degree in education!! Yes! I began that degree in July and I will be done May 30. It is tough working and then coming home to work on papers and reading about curriculum and education theory, but it's a good experience and I am so glad I am doing this before we have babies. It's a 20 month degree but the accelerated program gets it done in 10 months! I have survived a research project and a class on curriculum theory which I had never studied before and have realized that the job I have with our district coincides with a lot of the stuff I have had to study. It's made some papers and assignments easier which is good. I will spare the details about data and test scores... blah blah blah
Due to my school, we have basically stayed in Casper most of the fall and don't plan to go anywhere until Spring Break... Maui here we come!! Yay!
Here are some more pictures of our Christmas weekend... lots of snow and time to ourselves and family!! Hope you had a great Christmas and I hope I update more than every 6 months!

At mom and dad's house Christmas Eve night opening presents with everyone...



















At our house with Shadow's green eyes... I mean our little Christmas tree...















If we don't bury him... he eats all the snow we shovel. :)
