Happy Friday! It’s definitely happy because it’s my last Friday to work of the semester! My last day is next Thursday and that can’t get here fast enough!!
Tuesday our entire school filmed a music video! It was so fun and I can’t wait to see the final product. We had to wear something Christmasey–red and green or ugly sweaters and I went the ugly sweater route.
Except that my students didn’t understand that it was an ugly sweater. I had to explain that I don’t like cats which made it an ugly Christmas sweater. #7thgrade
My mom’s birthday was Tuesday, so that night I changed out of my ugly sweater and put on my FAVORITE sweater!!! I wish I had another one of these because it’s the best sweater ever!! I bought it when it went on sale for 40% off for maybe 4-5 days. I would have bought two if I would have had another gift card because, you know, saving for an adoption haha!! I’ll buy another one next year 😜 Also, I’m wearing my “namesake” jean and they are on sale! I’m a self-admitted jean snob and usually don’t wear cheap jeans, but I like these!
She makes 59 look good!!! And she’s also really embarrassed in this picture because she had no idea they were going to put that hat on her!
Best picture Dustin got of me 🙈
I’ve got to work with him on his photography skills.
Rachel and I met up for coffee Wednesday afternoon after she worked PRN for hospice and I get done with school. LOVE coffee dates with my sister!!
My small group got together Wednesday night for our FAVORITE Things Christmas party!! We ate good, had Emily’s famous cheesecake, and each left with 4 presents–it’s such a fun tradition we’ve started that I’m always looking forward to each Christmas season!
Yesterday was my dad’s 65th birthday so we celebrated at my house!! I cooked supper and Rachel had the cake made to look like his new Medicare card–yay for retirement!!! We had a fun time celebrating dad! He’s excited about 65–retirement and his first grand baby!!!
And just for fun, Tuesday morning lots of school systems (except ours) delayed for the freezing temps and ice on the roads (remember, the South isn’t used to this!!!). We had a freezing fog and I snapped this as I was headed to school and Dustin was taking out the trash. No filter–it’s really gray out there haha! And Dustin might have to start his own fashion blog 😜
Woo hoo for your last Friday before break!! Hope you have a great weekned! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Yay for the last Friday of work! I don't teach, but we do have a holiday shutdown from Christmas Eve to New Years, so I'm counting down the days! Also – your hair looks amazing. Those curls are great!
Yay for a break soon. How cool that your parents have birthdays so close together and Love that your small group has a gift exchange.
Yay, FRIDAY!!! You look so cute in your sweater and how Mr. Shaneyfelt is a styling in those boots! Happy belated to your sweet parents and Happy weekend xo
Looks like a great week! Love the boots!
I am so excited for Christmas Break too. Oh my gosh, I bet that music video will be a hit. I love that sweater too. What a fun week!
I'm super excited for Christmas break, too! This is my first one in SO many years! I'm really looking forward to relaxing, watching Christmas movies, and sipping hot chocolate.
I just love that sweater! My daughter has a similar one. 🙂
Wow, I can't believe how gray it was out there in that picture! Goodness! And happy birthday to both your parents – this next year is going to be so fun for them with a new grand baby!!!! And I still stand by that your sweater isn't ugly one bit, haha, I love it!
Olivia would love your Christmas sweater because she loves cats so much!
