Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the FREEZING midwest! We have probably a foot of snow on the ground. It's beautiful though. I am hoping for a true white Christmas--snowing on Christmas day. It's great to be home. I am enjoying being with my family, reading books, taking long baths, and seeing friends. It's been great so far.

What's even better is remembering what Christmas is all about. Remembering that little baby who was born to die. To die for you, to die for a me. To take away our sins. All of them. I recently had the chance to share that good news with a parent, that free gift that is ours for the taking. If you have never accepted the gift of salvation, it's never too late. Jesus' arms are open wide. Email me or leave a comment if you have any questions. I love talking about my best friend Jesus!

Here is a snapshot of the past couple weeks. I am not even going to try to put them in order. It won't work!

Amanda and I at the staff banquet. I am SO thankful for her wonderful friendship!
Cuties! Waiting for the Christmas program to start.
Umm, yeah. Notice the tree behind us. It looks like it's dancing. So we wanted to dance too :).

We had WAY too much fun with the automatic timer on our cameras. Picture this: four girls, three cameras, a table, and too many Dominicans walking by. Oh yeah, add a LOT of giggling. Posing nicely before the goofiness started.
Lovely teachers I work with. I am SO thankful for all of them!
Some friends came over Thanksgiving. I don't remember if I've posted these pics yet. Sorry if I already have! This is Jordan and I at the beach.
LOVE this lady! She has been a blessing to me this year.
As I have written about earlier, my kids LOVE to sing! The chapel band, including the principal they LOVE, had a concert one night. FIVE of my kids came! Here I am with four of them. AND their moms were there too! I am praying some seeds were planted!

Merry Christmas! May you see Him this season. I love how much God loves me. I love that he showed that love by sending His Son down for me. What a wonderful gift!
