Where Have I Been!?!?

Hello All (if there is anybody left reading), Happy December!  I cannot believe that November is behind us and I did not sit down to write once.  The blogging break was filled with so many projects, a special weekend Mother's Retreat (picture above was taken there), holiday shopping, a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving with friends, Thanksgiving with family, planning Advent and decorating for Christmas.  It was a wonderful month, absolutely wonderful. 

And now we are moving into December.  Once again I spent most of November preparing for December so that I could enjoy all the magic of the season.  It means for a lot of work in November (shopping, creating, wrapping, crafting, cards, decorating) but it makes for a fun and relaxing December. 

This December I am planning to post a photo a day up until Christmas.  I probably won't write much but plan to tell our story through photos and short blurbs.  Below you will find the photos for December 1st and 2nd.  I wish you all a magical holiday season!!!
