Taking a short break from the travel photos for a few Christmas photos.  We had a great Christmas.  We spent time with my family, got some great gifts, got to see my nephews open their gifts and had some great food!  My mother bought everyone matching pajama pants; this is turning into her tradition.  I don’t know how I ate as much as I did.  My mother outdid herself this year.

JJ and I are getting ready to go to Kentucky to visit with my grandparents for a few days.  We are not actually sure when we are leaving.  We are waiting for a package from Korea to arrive and as soon as it gets here we are going to hit the road.

School starts on the 18th of January, but I will probably need to be back for a staff meeting on the 13th.  We haven’t really started thinking about next semester, but we have ordered our textbooks and making scheduling plans.


I hope that you and your family had a great Christmas.  I know that JJ and I really enjoyed ours.
