Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lots of people, lots of food, another CRAZY Crookston gathering with so much to be Thankful for!

Jon and Kristi had Rachel's name for Christmas. While talking about what we should get her Jon and I came up with this great gift idea. Rachel LOVES the game Clue, and has a bunch, so we created her a new one. Jon and Kristi brought it all together and I drew up the board, it was a lot of fun thinking about how our house use to be in our childhood days.

Grandma and Grandpa - Happy Birthday!

For Grandpa's birthday we celebrated before Thanksgiving, having a party in Tucson. Grandma planned it for him, then Grandpa changed it to make it a birthday party for Grandma as well since most family were coming. We had cupcakes, magic cookies, cakes with notes about why we are thankful for Grandma and Grandpa. We had food spread across the table, kids running everywhere, your usual Crookston get-together!

Magic Cookies!

Fall Break!

Fall break came this year after I was hired to teach fourth grade in Amphi School District at Wilson K-8! So I spent Fall Break up in Pinedale. We went to the pumpkin patch, I went to soccer games and a band concert. A great week!

Happy Birthday Holly!

MY CLASSROOM!!!

During fall break I went up to my Dad's house and got my teaching stuff because I got a new job!!! after spending part of the week in Show Low I returned to Tucson with a heavily loaded car and hauled it all up the stairs of my school into my new classroom! It was a lot of work but oh so much fun decorating my classroom. The hardest part was the time crunch, I only had a few days to put it all together! But it did come together and I love it, I feel so at home there, which is good because that is where I spend most of my time!
