what I've been up to...

Christmas Countdown Calendar (speaking of that...I need to wrap today's...)

Christmas Concert...this is us getting ready. Lucas wanted hair like mine, but it's just too hard to replicate! Then he wanted to take lots of pictures before we left. But he didn't want to wear his tie, and he thought we were sleeping over at the school and that also didn't sound good!

Buying flowers. I love flowers. 

Gingerbread house decorating...

at "Auntie" Cheryl's (with some new kids and old friends)

and at Dad and Heather's (this is an annual tradition that Amy and I still love to help with!)

Want to hear a funny story? So, I ordered some pictures the other day to include in my Christmas letter. I'm sending 60 letters, so I needed 60 wallet prints, so I ordered 60 wallets (can you see where this is going?). Unfortunately, on Superstore's website they don't tell you how to order your wallets. What they should tell you (in large, bold print, with flashing lights and arrows) is to take the number of actual photos you need and divide by four.

So when I thought I was ordering 60 pictures, I was actually ordering 60 sheets with four pictures on each sheet. Oh my...do the math and that's 240 actual photos. So I have 180 extra pictures, on 45 extra sheets.

Now I have to come up with some super creative ways to make use of these bad boys. Russ asked if I couldn't just use them in the letters next year as well? HA!

But, on the plus side, aren't we super cute!?!?

I have a fun post in mind for tomorrow! Looks like my mojo is back...Hooray!
