Naughty. Nice. Naughty. Nice.

There's a pattern here at our house. I think the nices outweigh the naughties and really, the naughties aren't even too bad, we're just a little all high energy from being cooped up. I can't believe the last blog post was December 3rd, the month has seriously flown by. Seems like just yesterday we put up the tree and now we are on the Eve of Christmas Eve, wow! The whole month has been a blur. We had our Christmas parties at school. We saw Santa at the mall ... and ended up coming home with a 6ft long, lighted, animatronic dinosaur, surprise, surprise. I had a Girl Scout service trip to the local nursing home where we sang to the residents and did a craft with them. I was a little scared/nervous at first but I ended up making some new friends. Mom and Zach took a field trip to see the Nutcracker ballet, I was super jealous, but Zach loved it. All of our hard work at school paid off over the past month and we had a very successful production of our school Holiday Musical. I got out of school way back on the 17th, so it's a LONG break! Dad has been off since then, too and we won't go back until the 3rd. We had the Miller Christmas last weekend and spent a couple days in WI. We're lucky this year that Nana, Papa and Uncle Adam are driving down here on Christmas Eve ... although we're supposed to get a few inches of the white stuff tomorrow so our fingers are crossed. Zach and I really have been getting along and playing so well, I think we'll be a shoo-in for the nice list. Fluffy is questionable, he really is such a good cat, but we've had to glue plastic claw caps on him because his scratching is so dangerous lately! Can you believe how big he has gotten?

Sorry for the run-on blog posting. Our New Year's resolution is to be more diligent about blogging and maybe even had some of the typing duties over to yours truly :)

Have a safe and Happy Holiday everyone!
