Christmas break

Well Christmas went great! Christmas Eve we had family and the missionaries over for a traditional polish dinner, and it went over great everyone left full! Then Christmas day we went to my parents house for some traditional American food, left there stuffed too!
All in all a great couple of days, but if you ask my husband the best day was Saturday the 27th when we went out with the family to go shooting.
We all were able to shoot three guns, a .38 revolver, a Saiga Riffle, and a 9mm semi-automatic pistol.
CJ has the holding of the riffle down but me on the other hand needs to work on it! I look very uncomfortable. I wish I had a picture though of me being Rambo with the gun on my hip and just blowing the heck out of the target!
Then we shot the pistol, I have a little more practice holding the smaller guns, because I have shot the .38 a couple times. But we had so much fun, and I love shooting, this might just mean I am going to let CJ get a gun!
This last picture is introducing Urban Safari Barbie!

Here Comes Santa Claus, Here Comes Santa Claus

First grade is an amazing time in a young kids mind and everything and anything you give or show to them they are simply amazed. Well now it is Christmas and we have been doing a ton of stuff to do with it, like connect the dots and coloring pages, oh and putting together decorations to give to mommies. All a ton of fun, but the most fun is when you bring good ole Saint Nick to a first grade pod and let him read a story to them.
Now this was an exciting event one that included all the first grade classes and a great elf/ Mrs. Claus. Santa of course read Twas The Night Before Christmas. He was bombarded by questions such as "Where is Rudolf? Where are the Reindeer? Where are the Elves?" Santa did an awesome job of answering the question and the kids ate it like the best Cheesecake in the world.
Then at the end the students lined up one by one and received a candy cane and a great hug!

To you and your Kin

So it has been a month and really not to much has happened. Father-in-law got into an accident and not mobile yet, but he has determination and will be moving soon! Hubby is done with first semester of nursing school and is well still loving it. I am almost done with my second semester teaching and well it has been an incredible journey.
I think I need to take the time to thank our Heavenly Father for all the wonderful blessings that have brought CJ and I closer. Thankful for the stability we have in our jobs that has given us the ability to be stable in other areas of our lives. What an amazing part of the year! Merry Christmas to you and your family from CJ and I!
