Christmas CrAzY Time!?!

Ok, so to say that times are crazy is an UNDERSTATEMENT!  

Let me just sum it up really quick, as I don't have that much time.  I taught up until 3:30 this afternoon.  That is right, my district didn't let out until December 23rd.  While I am excited to not go back to school until January 9th, I feel like a chicken with my head cut off preparing for Christmas!  Lets just say that I didn't wrap any presents until last night and I still have a few handmade items to finish making tonight, on top of preparing a huge Italian meal for Christmas lunch tomorrow afternoon and clean the house.  Whew!

In all of the craziness this week, we have been {mostly the kids} having fun times!

 Grandpa and Grandma took Kyan and Lola to Glendale Glitters on Wednesday night and to the zoo today {I let them skip school, spending time with family seemed more important}.

 I was able to sneak away on Thursday to see Lola's preschool class perform a few songs!  She was so stinking cute and didn't get stage fright at all {not gonna lie, I was worried}!

Grandpa and Grandma joined us and stayed the entire time, making arts and crafts after they sang!  She was so excited to have us there!

 Last night, after football practice, the kids received their own special emails from Santa.  They had personalized messages {Santa knew their names, where they lived, how old they were, what grade they were in, and what special gift they wanted him to bring them} to each kid and told them if they were on the naughty or nice list!  Their reactions were priceless and it was adorable to watch!  You still have time to do this with your kids!  Click here to make your own video!

Hoping to survive the Christmas craziness these next few days!  

Wishing you and your families the merriest of Christmas'!
