Snapshots of the last month of my life.

The Christmas season is here with a bang,
With parties and shopping and carols already sang.
My classroom keeps me busy at this time of year,
Especially when I'm teaching how to spread some holiday cheer.
Hopefully life will slow down, and then...
I can start blogging again!
Here are some snapshots of the last few months of my life.

Celebrating Caden's 4th Birthday!  Hires and Jungle Jim's!

Hot pots with my favorite people.  I will never forget hiding on the grass by the church so the cops could not see us.

I came home from a long hard day at work to find my favorite cookie and thoughtful note from my sister.
This seriously made my day.  I am so grateful for my sister.  Thanks sis! I love you!

Cassidy's wedding shower. Congrats Cass!

My nieces and nephew helping me make turkeys for my classroom.

Enjoying Twilight with my friends.  I love you girls!
THANKSGIVING 2011.  57 PEOPLE EATING DINNER AT MY HOUSE!  IT WAS DELICIOUS!
GREAT WORK MOTHER AND ALL THE MAXFIELD'S WHO HELPED.

Complete with activities, gratitude wall, amazing food, volleyball, and Hugo 3D.

A QUICK  GETAWAY TO VEGAS!
It was a great break for all of us.  We played golf in St. George on the way to Vegas.  We stayed in an amazing hotel.  We went shopping, explored the strip and casinos, got Virgin Strawberry Daiquiris daily, had to show my I.D.,
 went to a buffet,
saw the Beatles "LOVE" show featuring Cirque du Soleil,
played tennis( sneaking in to courts and breaking my strings for the first time in my life), and visited the temple on our way out of town.  I love my family and had a blast.  Thanks dad for the great trip.

LINDSEY'S WEDDING SHOWER!(complete with her favorite... lingerie)

THE FOOD WAS GREAT AND THE DECORATIONS WERE ADORABLE.  

I DID A LOVE MEMORY GAME AS WELL.  I AM SO HAPPY FOR LINDSEY AND SHE WILL BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BRIDE EVER!

Visiting the Grand America with my best friends for a free concert- invited by my brother.
Ending in being the best dance party ever, and a photo shoot with all the beautiful decorations we found.
