Christmas Cookies

I didn't know how to make cookies this year without Kristin to share the experience with me, but luckily Kati and Becky (and her dear friend Kristen) came to my rescue!

He's back!

I have come to love this Charlie-Brownish partaker of our corn!  His nightly antics offer us a smile each morning as we look through the pictures from the night before...here's last night...

Last day...

Today was the last day of my class with the Chinese champions.  They spent the class time defining their preferred coaching styles and talking about the dreams they have for helping their future athletes achieve their best...physically and as people.  It was inspiring to hear...

And as if to emphasize the wonder of being able to teach and learn with the Champions this semester, here was my view on the way home...wow!

I feel so special!

Yesterday when I got home I had the most wonderful gift waiting for me...a beautiful necklace!!!

Here I am modeling it with its designer...don't we have the greatest neighbors?!

Our yard hops at night!
