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
After attempting to take Christmas photos with a dead camera battery, we tried again the next night and got this sweet one, among others! Every Christmas I have to remind myself not to fall into the "Perfect Christmas" trap. I have to focus on what is truly important and weed out the rest. Here is my list to remind myself what's important: My Christmas List 1. 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. I don't need to stress out so much about picking out the perfect gift. It's the thought that counts. (right?) 5. No one is going to hate me if they don't get a Christmas card from me. 6. 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.
