Merry Christmas to ALL.........

This week has been so fun. Getting lots of cards from dear friends and family, putting the finishing touches on things, class parties, more baking, more baking, and the best part of all family parties. As much as we miss our life and friends in Chicago, it has been so great to be close to family, especially at this time of year.
I am so grateful to have most of them all here. (Tara and Lane's family is living in Costa Rica) We are headed to the awesome cabin to enjoy the first part of the Holidays with Kelly's family and then my family will join us a few days before New Years as we celebrate every year with my Mom and Bud. The cousins have so much fun together Ice Skatind, Sledding and this year Skiing. And of course our tradition of games and LOTS of food!
We are happy to just all be together this time of year. We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I can't believe that it is almost Christmas! So much to do and so little time!

This is what I have left to do, what about you?

Make more goodies ( they all keep disappearing) :)

Deliver neighbor gifts

Read Christmas stories

3 more Christmas Parties

And......pack for the cabin!

In all the hustle and bustle stop and reflect on the TRUE meaning of Christmas!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a VERY Happy New Year!
