I got to be the special guest in my sister’s Kindergarten classroom today. Several little ones read their story “Tag” to me, and then I got to visit with them during snack time. The real reason I was there, however, was to watch their Christmas program. The holiday macarena was the real show stopper; of course, all the songs and poems were good. Dad, Mom, and myself are heading up to Ape’s Babbit program today.
I convinced everyone that it was a good night to go to the Landing for dinner. (This after promises of my home-cooked meals this week.) It was a good decision, though. We were the only ones in the dining room, so it was almost like being at home. Gram and Gramp joined us.
April and I went in to Steve’s to help undecorate the house. He and Nels are leaving today, so there was no use having a bunch of Christmas stuff up. Trisha ended up out there as well, and then she jumped in our car and came out to spend the night. We spent an uneventfull hour and a half searching for a gift for her dad, but shipping was outrageous. (Well, it is the Wednesday before Christmas!)
Lo surprised us and was at home last night. She’s heading out again after work tonight. So begins Christmas.
I have to go do some work now. It’s been unbelievably tough to be motivated to do my work here. It feels too much like vacation!
