So sorry it's been so long since I last wrote... Almost two weeks... The holidays are BUSY aren't they? Things start taking on their own routines and schedules and priorities. I will be glad for January just to be back in a normal routine again. This month of December we have 4 parties, 3 concerts, 2 additional church days, a blood drive, a preschool program, professional pictures, and a partridge in a pear tree!!! It seems like it just doesn't stop. My baby will be one in just 20 more days. It is hard to believe. I'm looking at all these "have tos" on my calendar and wonder how much are REALLY "have tos"? How many things could we bag if we needed to? At what point is your family more important than all the "things you have to do"? Are you making your family important at this time of year? It's easy to get caught up in all the running around...
If you're reading this... post a comment for me on what's a tradition that is just focused on family. What's something you do as a family or with your family/for your family that doesn't include running a shuttle from point A to point Q? I'll be curious to see what traditions are out there!
Where the voices get to come out of my head and ramble elsewhere...

We'd having "Cookie Night" This involved eating pizza and making about 7 different kinds of cookies in one night with Xmas music on the stereo. NO tv during the cookie extravaganza.
Dad would always roll out the sugar cookies last and let us kids stamp the dough. We weren't very efficient at getting the most cuts per roll, but dad didn't care.
Mom is nuts about Xmas so there were always about 12-15 kinds of cookies in the house....bad for the waistline these days.
