The Dudo Family: December Photo Dump

Such a FuN and BuSy month!

During the last week of school we had a dress up day themed with a Christmas song.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Keri and I had matching "cute" sweaters.

Enjoying the snow outside!

Working out with Aunt Erica; she made me Zumba videos.

Hot chocolate and the Christmas tree.

Two of my favorites.

Christmas Elf returned and was stuck in the window the first night.

Megan and I always had the tradition to do Random Acts of Kindness at Newell with our students. I wanted to keep that tradition going and pass it on to the students at Stolley. I created this super cute bulletin board "Do you see what I see? Random Acts of Kindness" with all sorts of ways they could show kindness in December.

Asia and I bought these adorable magnet countdowns at the Barn Festival. I created little slips to put in each spot for my kids each day. They included, watch a Christmas movie, play a family game, decorate cookies, drink hot chocolate with marshmallows, donate to the red bucket, buy a gift for Alexandru, etc. Landon was so excited to see what was in them daily.

Beth got engaged and of course we had to celebrate. I ran to Super Saver and bought cupcakes and put them in the shape of a ring. We then put them in the lounge to share the good news.

So....my media specialist isn't a huge fan of Christmas. She likes it but doesn't enjoy the decorations and all the stress that goes with it. As a staff we were patiently waiting for her to be gone some day so that we could decorate the library. And guess what.....? She was sick some random day so we had a little fun while she was gone. Beth gave me the go ahead to run home and grab all the random/ugly decorations I could find. The next morning she arrived to blaring Christmas music in the library and lots of people watching her reaction.

Decorated the bookshelves with bows and paper chains. Hung red bows from her ceiling decorations.

The Stolley Park Christmas tree hasn't been put up for at least 8 years so we felt it was time to get it back out. We didn't fluff the top and only put lights on the bottom. Notice Mr. Ludwig as the star and all the random ornaments. I might add that our staff "cat" is enjoying it as well.

Katie and I watching the thirty-one spring premier on the projector at Stolley.

We had so much fun the month of December at Stolley. While Beth was away in D.C. for three days we decided to wrap her entire office in Christmas paper. We even wrapped the little things on her bookshelf. She LOVED it!

For the LF white elephant exchange I found Girl Talk. The night before I wrapped it Kurtis and I had so much fun reading through all the cards.

Mikki loves doing Avery's hair. Her was a pic she sent me one day.

Battle of the uncles (Landon's uncle vs. Monroe's uncle)

My brother's team came to GI to play Northwest. Monroe's uncle is their coach and it was fun to see them facing off with each other.

That night Landon cheered for Northwest as our daycare providers son plays for them. My brother thought during the game he could hear him cheering for the wrong team.
