Almost Christmas?

Wow, the time has flown by since we were in Atlanta because the semester was ending, and Christmas was kicking into high gear. It always feels so rushed to get ready for Christmas and to help students through final projects (and to grade those projects) all at once. But it's also a great time too. I went with Emily and Beth up to Chicago this weekend to the Christkindle Market, a traditional German Christmas market. Although it was crazy crowded, it was fun to browse the crafts and to sample the food. We all got spiced wine in boots too.
 

 That night, we capped off the Christmas day with a concert at the church. Michael has been surprisingly good about the Christmas tree this year. He only goes into time out for messing with it about once a week. Seriously! Pico, however, is a different story.

My grades are submitted, so the semester is officially over, and not a moment too soon. Michael and I are traveling to Michigan for a few days while JD's at a work conference, and then the family is arriving in town for my graduation next weekend. I've just got to keep up some stamina!
