christmas advent 2012!!

here we go again!  i was looking at my blog the other night and realized i had only posted 11 (yes, that's ELEVEN) times this entire year!  what is going on with me?  i mean, i'm not a great blogger anymore, but eleven posts?!  geeze louise, we've got to be better about that next year.  i may smell a new year's resolution... something i hardly EVER make because they just get broken.

i digress...

so here we are, the beginning of december with built in posting at my fingertips!  our christmas advent is upon us and we'll see how closely we stick to the actual assignments.  weston will be traveling for a large part of the month so to make things easier, i may be coming up with more crafts or things to do at home rather than venturing out with the three littles all by my lonesome.

i was thinking today that perspectives are so different from child to adult.  as a child, i couldn't wait for december to fly by so that we could get to christmas that much quicker.  i see the same urgency in kate these days.  just today she asked me about ten times when it would be christmas.  when i would tell her (in 24 days) she would dramatically sigh and go on about how that would take "forever"

oh. brother.

i sort of feel the opposite - i love the month of december.  i love the anticipation and celebration of the one day of christmas all month long.  i love the activities and goodies and movies that come with it.  i love the spirit of christmas and the spirit of christ that you can feel all around if you are looking.  with that said, please join us as we do our best to enjoy all this month can offer!
