Finally, a break!!!

The semester is over, thank goodness. So far 3 of my grades have been posted and all is looking very good. I had a killer anthropology final exam that (if you can even imagine) was twice as hard as the primatology exams I took last spring. But it is all over with and I can finally start to relax and enjoy the holiday festivities.

Our tree is decorated, I am all done shopping, and I got the ingredients to make enough cookies to feed the entire Rogers Park neighborhood! (Not really, but it is at least enough for 7 different recipes.) Plus, the kids and I are going to make salt dough ornaments and paint them. They will make nice gifts for teachers and aunts.

I will be posting a few pictures from the past 3 weeks of our hectic life! (But right now blogger.com is having issues and won't let me.) My parents visited for Thanksgiving, the anthropology department hosted a holiday party, and my philosophy class held a  symposium culminating the BVM memoir project. 

We will be in Michigan for 11 days over Christmas. We don't get to see our family much since we moved out to Chicago, so we are looking forward to relaxing and spending time with them. 

Enjoy the picture. I will have more to post this weekend after our baking, ornament decorating, and Jamie's work holiday party at Ron of Japan's. (His office has the BEST parties!)

Talk to you soon!
