2 days!!!

After months of counting down the days, I seems crazy that Christmas is only 2 days away! Where did the time go?!?!

Every year in about October, I start getting really excited about Christmas season. And every year I look forward to the peaceful, relaxing cold days with me wrapped up in a blanket by the fire with my hot cocoa and a good book. But that never happens. Never. First of all, it was in the 70s even this week- not cold enough for a fire. And furthermore, Christmas sneaks up on me. I always think I'll have all my shopping done wayyy in advance. Wrong again. I am inevitably stuck in long lines and horrible traffic trying to find the perfect gift.

The past couple weeks have been very busy for us. Thus the blogging hiatus. I won't even go into all the little details, but we are really excited for a break. And now that the break is in sight, I'm getting really excited about the more important things. Seeing my family and spending time with them. It's too rare these days that we slow down and just enjoy each other, but that's when our family is at it's best. And this year we have Jonathan as an addition to our family Christmas, which we are excited about.

Brandon and I are so blessed, and it's impossible not to be abundantly aware of that around the Holidays. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, and maybe I'll be a better blogger after this crazy month is over. Everyone have safe travels and a very Merry Christmas!
