Happy New Year!

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree...

I can only shutter at imagine what the future holds for this baby girl...

Blessed Christmas Eve to all,

ETA: After the camera cut off, Three exclaimed, "Now let's see how high we can toss her!"

'Twas two nights before Christmas

And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring....

Some baby girl for the Grandparents..

Just picked up this handy-dandy flip video recorder. Outta da box, record, up load to blog. Easy peasy, lemon squeazy!

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes...

How'd that happen??

Firstly, let me get THIS outta the way...

That was for all the grandmas out there...

Whew! Where did the time go?? Thanksgiving whizzed by, and December-- such a quick little sneaky month, no? Now, here we sit, third week of Advent almost over-- the O Antiphons beginning today. How's it going for you all out there? Are you ready? Ready to welcome the Babe into your hearts and home? I'd like to say we've not gotten distracted at all lately. I'd like to say that.....

But each day is new for a reason. We can recommit ourselves to slowing down and focusing on Christ. So that's what we'll do. We've been reading this and everyone looks forward to it each night. We've been adding straw to Jesus' bed with each good deed, making it nice and soft for His arrival Christmas morn. I hope to roll in more story time in these last few days of Advent, and also have more family prayer time as well.

What are your plans? How will you make the most of the days we have left?
