It's Over In A Flash!

Wow - I can't believe Christmas is over. All of that preparation and anticipation and it is over in a flash. With every Christmas I tell myself that I want to make time to just sit back, relax and enjoy the holidays. Well, as most of us know, it's not easy "making time". There is so much to do - baking, shopping, wrapping, cleaning, ect. in order to have a "nice" Christmas, that you tend to not have the time for the sitting back and relaxing part. However, that is what makes the holidays special - the time and activities leading up to Christmas and the anticipation of the celebration. You have to learn to embrace it, hold on, and remember to take lots of pictures so that you will have those Christmas memories to cherish for all the years to come! Here are some pictures of our special activities leading up to Christmas Day.

We had a cookie baking party with pizza and all!
