What's On My Happy List?

We had a Nacho Navidad night 

with the Young Women!

{the limeade was the bomb... it's equal parts Fresca, Sprite & frozen limeade concentrate}

The girls did a Christmas Escape Room
that tied in with their gift/2018 Mutual theme!

They had to figure out clues
to unlock the chest with keys to unlock their
own individual gifts...

Their gift items went along with this past year's theme...

The lock represented LEARN
the ear buds represented LISTEN
the socks...WALK
and the Dove Chocolates for PEACE!

Little board books my co worker

infants and toddlers we take care of 

at Spartan Station.

"Merry Christmas Little One"

This is where I spend most of my afternoons during the week. 

I go from working with 1st and 2nd graders at 

the elementary school in the morns and then

over to the high school daycare/preschool 

in the afternoon.

{It's like I have 8 grand kids ranging from 

18 months to 3 months.}

😂

It's so challenging AND TIRING, yet rewarding.. 

{like who doesn't want to rock a sweet baby to sleep?}

but boy, is this place hopping!!!

The hubs took the girls to see a movie 

so I could have a few hours 

to play Mrs. Claus!

Their reactions when they come home and 

see all the gifts wrapped

is almost like Christmas morning!

IT'S HILARIOUS!
