Is it just me, or does this week feel like a mad dash to the finish line? We’re trying to cram in as much fun as possible before Christmas. Here are some snapshots from my week so far. . .
I got 50% of my Christmas cards actually mailed out. That’s not too bad. I had good intentions.
Our Christmas card tree. It looks like the Charlie Brown version of the one I posted about here.
Santa drove by our house in a fire truck. My kids were terrified of the sirens. . .
For teachers’ gifts, I ended up going with Target gift cards tied to ornaments decorated by the kids.
A visit from Santa at a friend’s Christmas party.
One of my favorite pictures. They’re plotting on how to figure out if this is the “real” Santa.
This was as close as she was getting. . .
Until I held her.
And, I can’t forget the highlight of our week. We ran into Justin Bieber at the mall.
Hope you’re having a fun week, too!,
