I know....it's a little late to say that, but I just realized the other day that I have not posted since November...That is just wrong. So for those of you that like to read and keep up on the crazy life style of Lynne.
Christmas was wonderful as usual as the Lashley family gathered for the traditional exchanging of the gifts. One thing we did do different this year was we gathered at my house for the annual Christmas breakfast and first gift opening. It was kind of fun to be the only one up with the house decorated and taking in the wonderful sunshine that God granted us that day as I busily prepared the breakfast dishes. From there we went to my parents and have the family exchange and then the Christmas dinner in the evening. I think that everyone enjoyed just being together, but I must say that I loved, loved, loved all the gifts that I received. I got a new crock pot with a timer which is AWESOME, so new dishes from the Great Aunts house, and the best gift was a brand new fishing pole from my dad complete with a tackle box and all the stuff to go fishing on our fishing dates this coming summer and fall. I am ready.
New Years was spent in Indiana at a cabin with friends of mine and the family. We had such a wonderful time and it good to get away.
While at the cabin we watched the OSU game and GO BUCKS is all I have to say.
Then it was back to the real world. I enjoyed having two weeks off at Christmas and I even got paid for it...that was the best part. So back to school we have been. Only one snow day, but I must say that was nice too. I could get use to those as well. I changed my room completely around the second week back to school and the kids and myself have adjusted well to the changes. I think that we all remember where things are now.
Mom and Grandma and I worked on Martin Luther King day and made my Valentines for my class for the Valentine party that will be happening in a few weeks. It was lots of fun. We also enjoyed two days of stamping and card making and learning new techniques with friends. I am excited to make more of these new styles and add them to my box of cards.
This weekend Matthew will be turning 33 and he is really excited about it...why I have no idea. My dad's birthday is the following weekend but I will not tell the age....
That about it for now. I promise it will not be as long the next time between this post and the next.
