I'm so predictable. I nearly vanish in November and December every year. I suppose it's a busy time for everyone. My job is EXTREMELY busy around this time of year, and this year is, if anything, more so! I'll be covering for the maternity leave for a coworker (well, a coworker from Birmingham) who is the go-to for all things for my group. Side note: It's a little hard to swallow, as we were literally due the same week. Anyway, I'm fielding lots of questions on invoicing and year end stuff. It's interesting and different, but can make getting my normal work done a little challenging.
So yeah, busy. I need to finish my Christmas shopping too. This weekend we took the kids to see Santa. We went to the mall this year. The last two years we attended an event at Tyler's school, but they didn't have it this year. The kids did great and were super excited--a change from last year when AJ was afraid of Santa.
 |
| Waiting in line! Blurry because they couldn't stand still from excitement! |
 |
| They've been (pretty) good this year! AJ looks so deceptively innocent here. |
We continued the Christmas preparation weekend by putting up the Christmas Tree. I remembered that I planned to do a blog post about a few special Christmas ornaments, so I snapped a few photos after we'd finished.
 |
| Oh Christmas Tree! |
 |
| Turtles! Tyler's friend made him these! |
 |
| Can you see tiny little me? Circa 1989 |
 |
| This used to be a rocking horse, until our sheepdog Shasta knocked over the tree one year and gnawed off a leg and the rockers. |
 |
| Last year's obligatory Christmas Craft! |
 |
| Tyler's first ornament! He loved that toy! |
 |
| AJ's first ornament, complete with his footprint! |
 |
| The ornament I bought the first year Adam and I were together 2002. |
 |
| My first ornament! 1982 |
 |
| Our nativity scene--we put it down low where the kids can play with it. |
 |
| We usually hang the stockings on bookshelves (no fireplace), but we put the shelves away this year, so command hooks it is! |
Busy weekend and now it's the week again! Any guesses on if you'll get another blog post before my New Years Post???
