Celebration.

Today we are having a party to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday! The actual day isn't until December, but it's hard to do birthday  things when Christmas festivities loom over the whole month.

Put up Christmas lights in my classroom yesterday. Took down Christmas lights on my patio (need to buy new ones that work... grumble grumble...). The huge dump of snow I shoveled off the porch is making me feel festive!
