December 
December 1, 2007 Our one year anniversity, Fred took me to the most finest and delicious steak restaurant in town.. Mastro's Steakhouse... it was my last dinner with Fred as a couple 
December 9th Tiffany & Kat hosted a Taco party where we also made these cute gingerbread cookies... 
December 12 Christmas party at my internship before seeing each other again next year 
Here are some before and after pictures of my classroom after our Christmas party on the last day of school before winter break on Friday, December 14 
 
Yes, we made these Christmas trees, putting green frosting over a sugar cone and decorating it with graham chocolate teddy bears, kisses, and ice cream confections 
These are the most gifts I've received as a teacher... too bad it'll be my last year teaching... 
I am touched whenever a child gives me a gift... like the one above... she saved me candy and placed a lot of Christmas stickers on her card... now... people who have worked with children know that they love stickers and candy... and for them to give it up... that's really something... The card below is from the same student... it's adorable... with one side written with happy faces and names, and the other side a sad face with names... LOL 
December 15 After doing laundry with my sister, we went to Cheesecake Factory for a spontaneous sisterly outing. This Sweet Corn Tamale was incredibly delicious... 
December 16 FOL (Fountain of Life Covernant Church) hosted its first annual Christmas party, since the church started in January... here's Santa Claus & I 
We played the white elephant gift exchange and here was my gift from Joe... I got a "Jesus Christ" cap and he got a used tortilla bowl... because his gift sucked... he picked out another and got a old entertainment magazine... another person got top ramen and decided to give it to Joe... 
People felt bad for me so they let me choose again..and ended up with a used toaster (I gave that to a student at DH that needed it)... and Tiffany got two used "yo quiero taco bell" bobble heads and... they felt bad for her too... so she picked out another one and got 2 CD's!
