Merry Christmas!

The madness of the season is largely over, and I can't say that I am disappointed! It's been crazy, as always, with trying to juggle work, shopping, parties, etc., all while trying to focus on the true meaning of Christmas, [the birth of Christ] and avoiding the greed & commercialism that seemingly gets worse each year.
But this Christmas has been very strange for me, with unforseen problems that arose in the last month, some family getting ready to move out of state and this quite possibly being our last Christmas with them here in Colorado, and just, well, lots of things being different from years past..it just didn't feel like a normal [and I use the term loosely] Christmas. It's been bittersweet...

Overall it was still enjoyable, and the kids of course had a blast.

Oh, and, Hailey, thanks for letting Ashlyn borrow Berlin's dress!!! It was a huge hit! xoxo
