...I can't keep up!
I have SO much to write about this:

and this:
and this:

and especially this:
(the cake is compliments of Elle and Grace, the chunk taken out of the front is compliments of Lu.)
But I can't seem to sneak out any time to write about it all because of this:

(The kids about drove me nuts begging and pleading with all their hearts to put up Christmas decorations right when we got home from San Francisco.)
...and mostly because of some church stuff...
You see, I was envisioning sitting peacefully around the Christmas tree sipping hot cocoa and letting the spirit of Christmas just wash over us for the rest of the year (yeah, right). And then our ward got realigned while we were out of town for Thanksgiving (they changed the boundaries of the people we go to church with each Sunday). This means we are losing a bunch of my favorite people and also gaining a whole slew of great new ones to get to know. That also means I'm getting kicked in the booty with things that need to be done in Young Women (where I get to work with the youth) along with visiting the new girls, mourning over losing our old girls and leaders, dropping off thank you's to everyone, etc.
Anyway, blah blah blah, I'll be back soon :)
