I have to admit that I am kind of hooked on Facebook.  It sort of takes me away from the blog scene.  I feel a little silly since Facebook seems primarily a teenage phenomenon, but it's amazing how many "older" people are on there!  I have a so many college, high school and church friends on there that I haven't seen in eons.  Not to mention relatives!  And so, alas, I have a feeling that my my blogging days are numbered.  But, just so I don't feel too guilty, here are some pictures of some highlights of our month so far....




 
My Stress-Free Christmas List

It's okay to say no.   2. My kids aren't going to suffer if I don't make Christmas candy.  3. My house doesn't need to look like Martha Stewart or Pottery Barn.  4.

My super-mom status won't change if I don't make cut-out Christmas cookies.  7. I don't need to attend every Christmas show and activity in town.  8. It's okay to stay home and enjoy quiet evenings with my family. ...
 
What great pictures! I'm a little jealous of the cousin gathering. It looks like it was a lot of fun.
