You can clearly see the ones who LOVE to be in front of the camera at all times. haha We had nothing but a FUN day today at school, and by the pictures, you can see that the students thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

I am FREE until January 8th...woo hoo!!!

Early Christmas Present from CJ...

CJ surprised me with a Phoenix Suns Steve Nash jersey as an early Christmas present. I think it's a cool present for two reasons. First of all, it's pink and white...made just for a girl. :) Second of all, it's just another reminder of how thoughtful CJ is when he picks out gifts for me. This is nothing I would have bought for myself, but I know he was so excited to buy it for me, and that means a lot. He always buys me my "firsts..." he bought me my first pair of Jordan's...and now my first jersey.

It just so happens that we're going to a Bulls/Suns game at the United Center on January 2nd, so now I can get popcorn thrown at me for wearing a Suns jersey. haha Also, now when my school has "Sports Day," I'll finally be able to participate.

Elijah's Christmas Toys...

Here is our nephew, Elijah, with his new Christmas toys that we got him. He really seemed to enjoy the "Baby Grand Piano" a lot. I have a video of him playing on it and will try to post it soon.

CJ and I leave for Tennessee in about 36 hours!!! I am so looking forward to finishing up work tomorrow at 12:30 and being free until January 8, 2007! I know my family is counting down the hours until we arrive (ok, so my Mom is). haha Have a blessed Christmas everyone...and a Happy New Year's! This will probably be my last post until "next year."

Grown-Up Nephew

Here is our "grown-up" nephew, Elijah. He is getting so big and looks like a little man now. He got his first haircut recently and looks so different! He enjoys cameras...but he starts laughing as soon as he sees the flash (which is obviously a few seconds too late). haha He's such a good little boy, and he has a great Mommy to take care of him.

We got to enjoy CJ's side of the family yesterday at his cousin's graduation down at Indiana State University. We were sitting pretty high up in the auditorium, so I didn't get any close-up shots of the graduate. It was a nice time, however. Congratulations Cedalia!!!
