'Tis the season

Christmas has totally snuck up on me this year. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's 3 kids, a full-time job, and the fact that we were gone for a week in November. Ready or not - it's coming, so here are some festive photos.

Blogger and I aren't getting along. So, these are not exactly in order, but oh well.

At breakfast with Santa

Love! I came in and saw them snuggled like this.

Gingerbread houses with Aunt Casie - an annual tradition

It's one of my favorite things to see the tree right after the kids have decorated. We did a bit of rearranging after they went to bed :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas to me!

1. I passed my 3-hour glucose test - hooray! Bring on the Christmas cookies :)
2. New dishwasher -- the old one was in really bad shape - so excited to have this!

3. New minivan! Vehicles aren't a big status thing for me, so I'm fine with driving a minivan. The conveniences are phenomenal - makes getting the kids in and out infinitely easier and for that, I am so grateful!

Funny to think how much life has changed that these are such exciting things for me right now. But, it's where I'm at in life and I'm so happy to be here.
