Grandma
Dennis & Ted came for Thanksgiving this year. I was looking forward to the
holiday weekend to work on some crafts. I was double excited because it has
been a while since I was that excited about something like that. After dinner
on Thanksgiving, I started working on my crafts and got them all mostly
finished by the end of the weekend. It was nice to see Grandma & Ted.
I
have spent a good part of December either sick or fighting it off! When I get
the stomach bug, it knocks me out for weeks because of my IBS.
I
did a couple of LipSense parties and have been excited to see the results! I am
in love with this right now!
We
did our annual Griffiths family Sub-For-Santa Shopping. Mom and I shopped for a
5 year old while Chelsea & Connor shopped for his 7 year old brother.
The
whites came on the 10th to do Christmas with us. Poor Cody was sick
with croup so he and Connor went home when the other kids got there.
As
the year has been winding down, I have been thinking about the coming of a new
primary class with dread and worry. I have seen such a change happen with one
of the boys that has always been VERY difficult. I think he has some issues,
but the last couple of months, he and I are doing good. He doesn’t behave for
anyone else, but he does for me. I worried about him next year with a different
teacher. I was torn between wanting to stay with my class or get a new set of
kids. I have had 2 difficult children!
Yesterday
was our last class together for the year as next Sunday is Christmas and we
will only have Sacrament meeting. Toby & Talea started talking about how
they liked me as a teacher and didn’t want a new one, they wanted me. They kept
talking about how they liked how I taught, something about “you are like the
teachers on TV.” {Whatever that means!}
After
church the Primary President informed me that I would be moving with those kids
to the next class. Toby & Talea will stay with me for the next year and 2
of the other kids will be swapped into my class from the other class that age.
I’m excited about it!
On
the 12th of December it was exactly 7 years from the day that I graduated
from Utah State. I can’t believe it has been that long!
On
Saturday we had our Griffiths family Christmas party. Carson & Cody were
both in the nativity play and were SO GOOD. Cody was an angel and Carson a
shepherd. They both sat on Santa’s lap this year and Carson was so excited to
tell Santa that he wanted a robe and socks for Christmas. The boys also LOVED
playing Bingo! It was fun to see so many cousins, aunts and uncles and to catch
up!
