Abigail's First Christmas

 It's hard to believe that Abigail's first Christmas is already here.  She was so cute in her Sunday Christmas dress.

We took Abigail to the playground for the first time.  She had a blast even though the toys were too big for her.

She looks so much like her Daddy!

Chess & Christmas

So I really enjoy chess... studying and teaching it.  And since I have to decorate my classroom door for Christmas (with a lot of restrictions, mind you), I thought I'd share with you my idea.



Yes, this is a chess nativity scene.  If you know me, you know I hate to include the 3 "wise-men" into the scene.  However, I felt it necessary to help pull it off, otherwise many wouldn't get it.

Merry Christmas!
