So, alot has happened these past weeks.  John's surprise 40th birthday party went off quite well, and he was surprised!!  We had about 80 people show up inspite of the snow.  It was fun!

Nutcracker on the other hand, is insane.  This next Sunday is the last performance!!  YAY  .  I'm about 1/2 way done with the shopping.  And the house is officially decorated for Christmas.  I have about 10 huge boxes full of Christmas stuff.  I have way too much stuff for this little house.  But John loves the decorations, so I do it for him.  And the kids ofcourse. lol. 

School on the other hand has not been good.  We need to catch up.  Yuck, I don't like it when that happens.  But it seems to happen every year at around this time.  Anyway, if I am not back before Christmas, You all have a beautiful, holy Christmas!  Many blessings! ~madeleine
