The Beginning Of The Christmas Fun!

It is Monday and that means the start of another work week. This week is a ball of crazy emotions for teachers. I love the magic of sharing the season with children, but it is rough keeping them corralled when they know that Christmas break is only 5 days away. At least we had some help this morning, thanks to a snow delay  closing (this changed as I was typing this post), a few less hours of madness! I was thinking this morning, that I have shoveled more snow this year than I did all last winter-CRAZY.

So onto the beginning of the Christmas fun. I knew I wanted to do something fun over my Thanksgiving break. So we decided to load up the car with my parents and both kids and head down to Cincinnati. Our first stop was the Krohn Conservatory. They have a beautiful poinsettia and train display. My goal for the day was to try to get a Christmas card picture( which I will share later after my cards go out).  We got some great pictures and had fun exploring the displays. After leaving there, we grabbed some dinner and then headed to a drive thru light display. I decided after freezing the week before, I wanted to do something that would be a little warmer. We had fun driving thru the display. It also nice because it is usually a really busy display later in the season but the lines were not bad at all.

*There might be a slight picture overload.

It's driving the teacher in me crazy, how she is holding her scissors but I love her concentration.
