Party: SUCCESSFUL





I cannot even tell you how relieved I am to have this project completed! Everything went as planned and went well. He was surprised and even happy with the outcome, especially getting to see his son Jason and his friend Jimmy. Thank you to all those who were so willing to help ad take time to be there and for having such wonderful things to say. I appreciate you all!


The slide show was great and all credit goes to my brother Joel who did a fantastic job putting it together and running it! While Phillip was just a little embarassed at having to relive his life (and his love of cut of jean shorts!) I know he will enjoy having it to watch and remember all the things he's had and done in his life.


Phillip will get to spend the day with Jason on Tuesday and I know he is really looking forward to that. He hasn't seen Jason in 4 years since he lives in Alaska. Next year he will be moving to Germany (to one of the bases we were at when I lived there... how cool is that...I'm so visiting him!) He should be there for 3 years, so Phillip is enjoying every minute he gets with him.


And, for you that don't know, Kyle, Jonelle and Aly knew about the party for the last 2 months. They never said a word. THey even knew Jason was coming. They did a great job keep secrets!


Well, this week is the last week at work until the Dec 29th, so I am going to enjoy 10 days off. We close the daycare every year for a week at Christmas to give the employees some time with their families. It is definately a nice break away. This week however is really busy. We take the preschool kids to the nursing home up the street to hand out Christmas cards and sing carols. My Transition to Kindergarten class is visiting their Kindergarten Pen Pal class to decorate gingerbread houses. Friday is Polar Express Day and our Christmas party. Of course during all this I have physical therapy as well. So busy, busy.

Ready to go

Well, the decorations are up, the cake is waiting and i am so relieved. Well, I will be when it's over. Phillip is still planning to go hunting but has promised to be home around 12 or 1pm. So, I will still be stressing out some what that he will be home on time, but he will cause he knows I will be upset if he isn't. I told him we needed to go shopping for P3's Christmas present.
I made him a 60 page scrapbook through Sams.com. It was supposed to be ready on Thursday at 1130 am. It had not arrived today so they gave me a certificate to get the scrapbook for free. That's nice, but I really wanted to have it for the party. Oh well, I can't stress over it. I am really looking forward to seeing his reaction, especially to seeing Jason. I know he will be excited about that.
Well, I hope to have pictures to post and really good stories to share :)
