Wow!  Where has the time gone?  Along mid-November I was feeling totally in control--gifts ordered and divvied out to the grandparents, Christmas cards ordered, teacher gifts almost complete, and a plan to have everything wrapped and tucked away by Dec. 1. 
Surprise!  Nothings wrapped and I'm still finishing projects.  It's crazy!  I'm pretty sure that I didn't take into consideration how challenging the girls' schedules would be--school programs, extra-curricular activities, holiday related activities, etc.  Somehow it seems they all have to take place between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Trying to take a deep breath and enjoy the spirit of the holiday as we head into the last week of school before Christmas break!
A little photo recap of the end of November:
