Mrs. Opper- with love
Mrs. Opper has always been one of the most loving, selfless people I have known. Her willingness to give that love to others cannot be compared with. My family shall always remember her with tears, but also with great joy because of the joy she gave to all of us.
We love you Mrs. Opper.
We love you Mrs. Opper.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
What a wonderful time of year! Snow is on the ground, Christmas lights twinkle as you drive down the road at night, and everywhere there is the heavenly sweet smell of cinnamon.
Last night my family went out to eat (to celebrate my finishing a bazillion college applications, and for a break for my mom.) I was so giddy with excitement to put on a scarf because it was actually cold out (as opposed to wearing a scarf for fashion) and Grace was making me laugh with her large, bulky, bright pink coat, a scarf wrapped around her waist for a belt-like thing, and a winter hat on. Even in the restaurant she complained of the cold, but I think she secretly enjoys the snow also.
A few days back I tried egg-nog for the first time. I did not like it. It reminded me of one of those chalky, pasty drinks you are forced to sip at the doctors office for a stomach checkup. And so, I shall continue to enjoy my chai lattes and peppermint flavored hot chocolate
We have begun to put our Christmas decorations up in the house! My Mom went out and bought some new items from Pottery Barn, which everyone is content with besides Grace and me. We are both traditionalists, and want all the old decorations up, from our handmade felt stockings to our old wooden manger scene we used to play with when we were younger.
Currently, I have just finished lighting our cinnamon sugar scented Yankee Candle and am eating a delicious grapefruit (another joy of this magnificent season!) Later today, Grace and I shall convince our Mom to compromise and allow some of our dear Christmas memories up around the house, and we shall sit by the fire and drink hot chocolate with peppermint sticks.
I wish you each a wonderful, snowy day!
