We've had such a busy December that I haven't had much time to post. Here's what's been going on:
-Our first and maybe only snowfall of the year. It was really beautiful for the 15 minutes that it lasted. Madeline wasn't too exited about being out in the cold. She was much happier watching from the window.
-I've been crazy busy with church, which has been a good thing. I feel a sense of fulfillment when I concentrate on serving others during the day.
-Madeline and I crafted for the first time together. I know, it's nothing much to look at, nor was it as much fun to make together as I thought it would be, but at least we tried. I'm not much of a crafty person, but for some reason I had great plans to do a Christmas craft every day in December with Madeline. This is all we've done. I have a hard time with crafts, especially kid crafts, because I don't want a lot of extra junk around our house. I found some really cute ideas on marthastewart.com that don't look junky - so maybe we'll try more next year. -Scott had his last class of his collegiate career yesterday. It was very exiting. He takes finals next week, and then we don't have to worry about anymore coursework or tests. Ever. Starting in Jaunuary he will wholeheartedly work on finishing his clinic requirements and figure out what on earth we are doing after graduation. Anyone looking for cheap chiropractic care?
-I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. Thanks to couponing blogs, I found some really great deals this year. Madeline especially is going to have an awesome Christmas - at least awesome for our meager budget.
-We're anxiously awaiting our trip out west in a week and a half. We haven't seen much of our family this year and are so exited to spend time with them.
