I love instagram and love following all of the amazing teachers that are on instagram! I'm linking up with Elizabeth from Kickin' it in Kindergarten for her Teachers of Instagram Linky.

The Week Before Break

I never got around to blogging about the last week before break! I know everyone knows that it was a crazy week with the full moon and the excitement of Christmas! I also took that Friday off before break to travel to New Mexico but it ended up being a snow day for everyone. Luckily we had already had our class party and had sent home our parent gifts. Here are pics from that week!



These were our parent gifts inspired by Run! Miss Nelson's Got the Camera

I love this one!

My teammate gifted my class an elf on the shelf. Her elf needed a girlfriend :) This is how our elf announced her name

This was a cute gift from a student. He used his thumb to make the reindeer

We study gingerbread stories in December so our class party was gingerbread themed. This was one of the stations, gingerbread play dough.



Our door we decorated for winter.

New Mexico Recap


Last weekend we flew down to New Mexico to cheer on our Cougars in the Gildan Bowl. Let's not talk about the ending of the game but besides that we had a blast going to a bowl game! The Cougars haven't to been to a bowl game in 10 years. Meaning Mr. J and I were seniors in high school. So we jumped at the opportunity to go to this bowl game! We stayed at Hotel Albuquerque in Old Town. While we didn't have much time to explore New Mexico what we did see was very nice. I will let the pics do the rest of the talking! I will be back later to recap that last week of school and Christmas!

This was the Church Cafe that we ate breakfast at in old town. Super cute and the food was good too.
We had great seats!

Weekend Recap

Well Hello! We had a very busy festive weekend! Friday I raced home from school to change quickly and make it to Mr. J's Christmas party. We had a fun time especially in the photo booth.




 Saturday we spent the morning at home catching up some tv shows. Our new tree skirt came so I moved the wrapped presents and put it around the tree. We then headed into Seattle to go Ride the Duck. During Christmas they do tours of the Christmas Lights in town and we scored an amazing deal. We also went to Pike Place Market and to the WSU Connections store. We ended the night with dinner at Rock Bottom Brewery and then cuddles on the couch with Stout.




Santa Butch was in town. I told him I want a bowl game win!




Now to get ready for the week. Only 4 more days until New Mexico!!
