O how I love this time of year! I love the music, the lights, the cold, the Christmas trees and decorations everywhere. Even the smell in the air is a christmasy(sp?) smell! I feel very good in that my Christmas shopping is all but done but for some reason there is this overwhelming feeling of chaos still present. All the Christmas cards, the baking, the caroling, the visiting teaching, the school parties, the Enrichments still to be for the month. Why is it so hard to put everything on the back burner and just enjoy the time of year? Never the less I will press on and do because that is what we do. I am learning that no matter what phase of life things are always going to be busy and we need to take time to enjoy the everyday little things. The other day we were in the car driving and we were playing Christmas music. Miley started belting out I want a hippopotomus for Christmas at the top of her lungs. She knows it word for word. It was the cutest thing. They are learning it at school for their little Christmas party/program. Those are the things I am trying to remember instead of dwelling on all that I feel I have to get done. Maybe then I will not be such a scrooge with the other things and will look forward to them as the little joys that I get to experience each day! For now that is what I will tell myself. Please excuse my crazy page. I am trying to update it and I am not having much luck! Be patient. I will also get a few more pictures taken and will quickly post some fun Christmas pictures!

Just say NO Wendy, you can do it!!! We all just need a new lesson in prioritizing and then maybe we wouldn't feel so "scroogy" this time of year. Why is it that no matter what it feels busy, I don't have a busy life right now and I still feel like everything is craziness????? Someday we will figure it out. Wish we were baking together. :(
Love ya
