Merry Christmas, Mom

Two more days before we go home! We can't wait. And as a bonus, Jamie and Tyler came and brought baby Avery! She is so cute and great. Glad we got to see them before Christmas.

Here is the advent calendar I made for our first Christmas together:



Andrew gets mad when I eat the chocolate each day before he remembers to.

And here is the wreath I made for our door. I found tiny clothespins in our apartment (thanks mom) and glued felt shapes to them for the ornaments. I think in total the wreath cost me $5. Pretty great.

Happy Bday Hubster

Total: 76. Not bad. I guess I could've waited for him to get home to ask him to help me categorize the 18 people I didn't know, but with finals this week, he's pretty busy.

We had a great day yesterday: Andrew took a final at 7 am (as a birthday gift, I drove him to school that early), then studied all day. Sounds pretty bad, but he got way above average on his final and has ended up with an A in the class! What a smarty pants. Then we had a group of 15 people celebrate Andrew's birthday at Pizza Pie Cafe. Such good food and even better company! I forgot to take pictures, which is really too bad because I got Andrew a really stunning shirt/sweater combo. Good thing he'll probably wear it again real soon.

Andrewism #7

Andrewism: (pulls my nose and tucks his thumb up between his pointer and middle fingers) "Got your thumb!"
Translation: Got your nose.
Best Part: The fact that he pulled that trick in the first place. How old are we, 5?
