The holidays are almost here

It'd the most wonderful time of the year...or so they say in an old jingle. Last night, I tried my first attempt at Christmas shopping. I was wandering through the store after school trying to postpone the much needed paper writing I needed to do for my class when a few Christmas songs that just make me laugh came on in the store. Here are some that I find funny (still haven't quite pin-pointed the reason, maybe irony). Maybe it is because I have such a love of the Christmas movies when every good intention goes awry. I'm getting in the Christmas spirit...there's nothing quite like singing holiday songs before Halloween. Just one more reason that teaching music is so much fun!

Maybe you have a story about a song to share and add to the list. If so, please do!

1. Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
2. Sleigh Ride ("just hear those sleigh bells jingling...")
3. The Christmas Song ("chestnuts roasting on an open fire")
4. Have a Holly Jolly Christmas
5. Here Comes Santa Claus
6. Let it Snow
7. Little Drummer Boy

Happy belated birthday, Kyle!

I thank God every day that I have the greatest man in the world to be my husband! Happy birthday, Kyle!

Our trip to Detroit

This past weekend, we got to travel to Detriot where Kyle was in his good friend Jeff's wedding. We had such a great time and got to reconnect with some friends that we hadn't seen in a long time. I also got to see my college roommate Amy, who I hadn't seen since my wedding. It was great!

On the way home, we stopped at Grandma and Grandpa Fisher's house to celebrate Kyle and Grandpa's birthdays. We went to Max and Erma's to eat and when they found out we were celebrating their birthdays, they both got free desert. Also, Grandpa gave us a really cool boat that we LOVE! Happy birthday, Grandpa! We love you!

Congratulations, Jeff and Lauren!

We are so happy for you and know that God is going to use you both to bless others in so many ways! Thank you for letting Kyle and I be part of your special day!
