25 Days of Christmas - Day 19

School's Out for Christmas! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! So happy to be done with grades, paperwork, teaching, and kids that are not my own for the next two weeks. Sounds like heaven!

I got home a little after 1 today. Ava had fallen asleep during lunch so she was so peaceful for about the next hour. I got a couple of things done and laid down for about 15 minutes. I heard her wake-up, accidentally made eye contact, and then Bam! Peace time is over. She was in a playful mood and that included dragging all her toys out of her toy box. At about 3:30 we ventured out and about with determination to get the last bit of Christmas shopping done. Misson Accomplished! We are through! We met Bradley at Lowe's and then made a trip to Wal-Mart and besides food items, we are done! I picked up the supplies needed to begin making my traditional Christmas candy and tomorrow, Ava and I will be baking.

So tonight's Christmas activity was to get done shopping and then Ava opened her first presents of the season (that were really wrapped and not in gift bags). Of course she loved the tearing of the paper. Her gifts were from Stacy, Jonathan, and JonThomas. Thanks guys!

Thanks to all who have sent Christmas cards, we hope everyone is doing great. Please pray for my Mammaw Freeman who fell and broke her leg a couple of days ago. She had surgery today and is recovering right now.
