How I spent my Christmas break, part one

I work for a company that shuts down Christmas Eve through New Year's Day.  It's seriously the best.  This break has been wonderful for a lot of reasons and I'll try to capture some of that here in the good ol' blog, starting with what I did today.

I woke up today feeling kind of crummy.  I have a bit of a cold so I just stayed in bed all morning.  I started getting texts from Leah at about 7 AM.  Here is a bit of our conversation:

I then started getting texts from Emily.

I sat in bed and thought "why not go bring them lunch?" So I jumped in the shower really quickly and with wet hair and my pajamas on, I drove to Taco Bell and got a dozen tacos and then to their high school and waited in the visitor parking lot for the girls to come out.  Leah was first...tacos are her favorite. Can you tell?

Cute Eric came too.  That's Abbie in the middle, Emily on the right.  They were all in pajamas too.  Did you all go to high school in pajamas? I never did.

Leah had to photo bomb the first pic so I took a second one.  Cute cute.

Leah took this one ... I prefer a crunch wrap supreme to a taco...in case you were wondering.

I asked Abbie to take my pic with Leah and this is us checking our teeth.  Because I love Leah so much, I posted this one...nice, huh?

Here's another...thankfully it's a little dark so you can't quite see my super clean face.

Things I'm grateful for:

• that school security didn't come out and arrest me for being on campus with kids in my car
• that I did something spontaneous today despite not being as cute as I could be
• that I have these awesome kids in my life
• that they love being with me as much as I love being with them
