My family’s schedule is pretty jam packed between now and December 24. I’m really trying to not feel overwhelmed and savor the season because it really is my favorite time of year. But between the hustle and bustle, it can be hard! Jason and I had a conversation last night about prioritizing and making sure the important things are getting done while the not so important things can wait. (Example: Important - Spending time with visiting family. Not as important - Wrapping presents. Pretty obvious stuff, but sometimes I need to remind myself.) I’ll probably be the mom staying up late on Christmas Eve to wrap everything but as long as I have a glass of ‘nog it will be okay.

Moving along… I try to keep pictures of Nora on here to a minimum, but these by Grace Hill Photography are too cute not to share! Kelly and I both married into the same crazy, fun family and we had the annual party, Christmas pageant and gift exchange this past weekend. She is such a talented photog and captured some fantastic snaps. Enjoy!

(Jason and I debuted as Mary and Joseph for the play, but unfortunately Nora fell asleep before she could make her entrance as baby Jesus.)
