Happy New Year!  I'm praying that your Christmas holidays were as awesome as mine were.

A big THANK YOU to all of you for the wonderful Christmas gift from the class.  In case you didn't hear, or your child couldn't remember, the class gift was Christmas earrings (angels, trees, and snowflakes), a box of Starbuck's carmel K-cups, two very lovely pot holders, and a bag of Dark Chocolate Peanut M&M's.  The M&M's didn't last long at my house.  The pot holders were put to use right away.  The angel earrings were worn for the school Christmas service and also Christmas eve.  The Christmas tree earrings were worn Christmas Day.  I figure I have some extra time for wearing the snowflake earrings!  The Starbuck's coffee is quite yummy.  It was a very nice gift!
