What We've Been Up To

I did not intend to take a break from blogging.  It just happened.  And when I thought about blogging nothing came so I knew it was to be. 

I suppose it might have to do with my different attitude this December.  A while back I blogged about saying NO to lots of things this year during December. 

IT HAS BEEN FREEING! 

We've been out of school for a week and will take this week off as well.  I can't believe Christmas is two days away.  December goes way too fast. 

So here is what we've been up to.

There have been many mornings like this.

Cisco time

Several hours during the day were spent like this.

Volunteering at OCS....helping a local church bring in toys.  The TRUE spirit of Christmas is giving!

And shopping was often done like this.  I pretend I don't know them.

WHY?!?!
 

I did try a few new recipes this season.  And a few afternoons were spent like this.

Childhood memories of licking the bowl.

And quite a few evenings were spent like this.  I bet we have watched more movies this December than we have the entire year!

Polar Express

It's really all about the memories for me in December.  It warms my heart to hear the boys say....."Remember last Christmas when we _______?"


So today I tell you this.........

God bless and Merry Christmas!!!  I seriously doubt I'll post again before Christmas Day.  Enjoy your family and friends.
