Only Two Weeks Until Christmas!

Last weekend we had a great time at the Roops! Click on our Flicker link to see all the great photos. The kids had so much fun and it was so nice to get away and enjoy John and Karen. We don't see them nearly enough since they've had their moving transition, but that will change now since they are all settled in their beautiful home. We did get some nice family pictures. I really wanted to get a new one since Kolton is almost nine months old and he wasn't included in any of the family pictures on the walls. I look at this photo and just smile. We are so blessed...I am so blessed beyond words to describe it!

We had a battle with the flu last week...yuck, but everyone is back on track and keeping busy. I hope to finish up my shopping today (if I beat the snow storm coming in), and need to get that cookie dough rolled out and baked TODAY!! It has been waiting on me since Tues. I think. I'll let you know how that all works out! Most of the time I just roll with the day because any plans I try to make...well...you know how it goes. I'll take what the Lord gives me and be happy with that. Everything waits on me until I get back around to it.

There's only two weeks until Christmas!! Every year it sneaks up on you, well at least me. It is kind of nice that we have all our gatherings pretty spread out over the month so I can organize and plan as I go and don't have it all hitting me at once. But I do need to get the kids finished up if not today because of the weather, next week for sure. I have also vowed that I will not be wrapping the presents on Christmas Eve this year after the kids have gone to bed. I hate that!!! But it's no ones fault but my own! So this year is going to be different! =0) I'm at least going to make the effort!

Well...hopefully I will remember to get a picture of the house after this snowfall. I was bummed that I didn't do that after the last time it snowed. It looks nice at night all lit up. I hope you all have a wonderful day, or week, or month...until the next time I'm back to give you all an update. Merry Christmas just in case!! =0)
