Pta’ing and stuff

Wednesday brought our big staff appreciation Christmas lunch. This is my third time doing staff appreciation and I’ve done it every other year. We’ll see if I can bring myself to do 2 years in a row next year. 

I took the girls to school at 7 and just stayed all day. Dominique and Evelyn met me there and were super helpful. Then Ashlee came after Duke’s drop off, so it was like a little party all day. 

We kept things rotated and tidied throughout the day. 

Great shot of me bending over. 

We had a toooon of donated side dishes, appetizers, desserts, and drinks and then the school provided meats from Mission BBQ. I want it to be really fun and special for the staff, so I like a big variety. 

Since I’ve done it so many years I’ve gotten better and we even had Christmas music playing low in the background. It was a really nice day.

Delaney came to hang out after school, Frankie forgot and rode the bus home, and she packed up a plate of goodies to take home. It was 3:00 by the time I got everything cleaned up and put away. 

Then Delaney had an extra Nutcracker practice from 4-6, and I was finally able to sign her up for a makeup lesson from 6-7. Then the big girls had a temple trip, so we quickly packed dinners, dropped D off, then dropped girls off. Off to Aldi, then home to check on my sickie. Matt slept so much, he was sick sick sick. 

The girls fav pictures. 

Bishop Wiest sent a nice note and this picture. We’re so blessed. 

On Thursday I was able to meet with my 2 counselors and 2 more presidents. Susanne just returned from Germany and gave me this beautiful plate of goodies. Magda made me a sweet bracelet and pair of earrings. If was a very uplifting and edifying day. We had a zoom presidency meeting thrown in the middle of those visits, and since I was close’ish I popped into the stake center for that call. 

I made it home with just enough time to get dinner and take Delaney to ballet. Happily busy week. 

My dad got a new phone and sent me his old one. Yay for me! I am going to be sooooo safe with this one. Although I’ve had it about a week and I’m on my 2nd screen protector. what is my problem?

I was excited for a morning at home on Friday!
