And back to the late nights...

School started up again. Back to working on homework after Lexi goes to bed and then being too wound up from thinking that it takes me a while to calm back down to be able to sleep. Funny how "late" now means 10:00pm (assignments are due by midnight so some nights are really late) and when I was a server, 10:00pm was like afternoon. Over the 3 week break between classes, I treated myself to early night a couple of times and went to bed shortly after Alexis went to bed.
As of today, I only have 31 weeks and 2 days of classes left until I am done with my Masters. That is very exciting and motivating. Happy thought for tonight's homework- the new pen I got that has fun sticky tab in it so I can mark my reading without having to keep track of anything else :o) I hope it lasts the whole class!
Only thought left in my brain- stay up for the clothes to finish in the dryer or restart it in the morning?
Long weekend- I am so glad you are almost here!!! Paid holidays are the best!!!

Christmas Day!

Finally getting close enough to the tree to touch the presents!

Pretty excited about playing with the tree

Looking for one for each hand :o)

Merry Christmas!!!

Working very hard to get Grandma Sue's gift open

When in doubt, try the biting method...

And it worked!!!

This sure is some yummy paper Grandma sent

Wow- this is a big gift from Mommy and Daddy!

The "using the mouth" technique was the winner for this Christmas- it came in handy opening my gift from Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Yeomans. Thanks for the pillow!
