Ten on Ten: Take a photo every hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month. Document a day of your life and find beauty among the ordinary moments.

Can you believe it is almost halfway through December?!?!
Here is Kate early this morning waiting to go downstairs to find Candle the Elf.
Every night before the 10th, I leave my Canon Rebel camera on the kitchen table as a reminder to bring it to school to document 10 on 10. (I don't have a point & shoot anymore and I refuse to bring my 50D to school)
Claire found the camera & tried to take some pictures with it.

The view outside my classroom...our campus is so beautiful, especially this time of year.

Because it is Friday, I did a fun lesson with my classes...m&m math as a way to teach combining like terms. Each student got their own fun size bag of m&m's.

Home from school....time to listen to Christmas music and edit pictures (I had FIVE photoshoots last week & just finished up editing my last one today! YAY!)
Confession: My favorite Christmas CD's? Mariah Carey, Amy Grant & Jessica Simpson. Go ahead, judge me :)

The Christmas lights on our house:

Our mantle that we put up last weekend (it looks a little bare, I will decorate it more this weekend)

Friday night means Pizza Night! (And, Kevin's favorite beer...bonus points if you can guess it!)

Kevin read the girls "Twas the Night Before Christmas" at bedtime tonight & there was a typo in the book! It said "Donder" instead of "Donner" (that's what you get when you buy books in the $1 section at Target.....)
I can't believe this is the last 10 on 10 for 2010!
And, I am SOOOOOO happy is Friday.
I have been SO overwhelmed with getting photos edited for people in time for Christmas (on top of teaching and being a mom & wife!)
It has been a crazy few weeks around our house. I have been up until 1am every night for the past 2 weeks editing pictures or making Christmas Cards.
I can't wait for a (hopefully) relaxing weekend, filled with sleeping, cleaning our house and attending our neighborhood Christmas party!

Happy Weekend to You!
