I hope you are having a wonderful time this week and
enjoying some holiday cheer.
We are staying pretty quiet this year, as you know. We
will enjoy Christmas Eve fondue and then Christmas morning we will open a few
gifts and wait for time to share calls with you!
That will be the best gift I get this year. Hearing
your voices is all I need.
I think we will go to North Bend on Wednesday and hang there
until Sunday. Then we have to be back in time for the new year dance that
Lainey must go to! The rest of the holiday, we will just chill! Dad
goes back to work on Wednesday, the 2nd and Lainey and I go back on
Monday the 7th.
Last week was a busy week of pre-holiday bustle.
Lainey had secret Santa gifts to give, I had work potlucks, etc. We were
done on Thursday this year, with a budget reduction day on Friday. That
forced the band to change the all-night party plan. Mr. Dunlop was told
we couldn’t use the building at all this year, since they don’t want the public
to think we are using the facilities on a non-budget day. We also were
told we could not use school busses, either. So, at the band’s expense,
we had to transport the students using private tour busses. Even though
it was expensive, we had a good time. We went to Bullwinkle’s Family Fun
Center and had the run of the place for four hours.

Then we went to the Washington Square Mall where we did a
scavenger hunt. The mall security was all over us! After that, we
went to Zoo Lights. Annie met us there with 10 trays of sub sandwiches
and 15 trays of cookies! After that, we did have permission to drop the
kids back off at the school so that we could visit with our alumni students for
a bit. That was fun. Several kids showed up and it was fun to see
them. At that point, Dad told me we were leaving and he drove us downtown
to a swanky hotel for the night for our anniversary.
That was fun! We watched TV, which if you remember, we
don’t have at home anymore! Then we slept in until I think around 11am the next
day. We slowly made our way home. Went to lunch at The Elephants
Deli, my personal favorite! We found a low tire when we got to the
car, so we had to deal with that, but it wasn’t that bad.
Tonight (Sunday), we went caroling with the Dunlops.
Fun!
That was pretty much our week!
Can’t wait to hear about yours! And to talk to you on
Christmas Day!
Love you all!!!
