Christmas Spirit

It's not hard to get into the Christmas spirit this year. Grace is fascinated by all things Christmas and is just loving everything about it! We don't have a ton of decorations but Grace was pumped to see some around the house when she woke up yesterday morning. We decorated the tree this morning and it was so much fun. I loved watching Grace pulling ornaments out of boxes and how excited she was with each thing she found.

Pictures with Santa!

Maybe I'm a "mean mom" but I love pictures of kids crying or screaming on Santa's lap. They're hilarious! I was actually slightly disappointed that our photo with Santa turned out so well this year.

Not sure what's about to happen ;)

Our first successful Santa photo!

I must admit, I like this one better.

November = Blog Fail

Evidently, I failed at blogging in November. Not a single post. And now we're almost halfway through December! Seriously, where does the time go??

We've had a lot going on and we've been pretty busy and I just haven't found the time to finish any blog posts - but I have several started! There's also been a lot of sickness running through out house over the past month. A urinary tract infection (Anna), colds (all of us, at different times), ear infection (Anna), and the stomach flu (me). It was rough.

I'm determined to make more of an effort going forward. I have a lot to write about! I often feel guilty when I don't post much because the whole point of this blog is to record things that happen in our lives for the girls to look back on later. I will post more in the coming days/weeks! I might even backdate a few posts so they're in the right spot when we look back at them later on.
