Busy Time of Year

The last few weeks have been crazy busy for me. I was in charge of planning our ward Christmas party, getting ready for a ROADTRIP to Minnesota this week, going to Dr. appointments for myself and the kids, finishing up the gift purchasing, and all the while feeling sick to my stomach and extremely tired. Yep, I am pregnant. It really does complicate things. I just feel like laying around or sleeping, but there is so much to do.

Our ward party went really well. Even with a few setbacks, we pulled it off. We had plenty of food for everyone, and the kids' crafts went really well. We've had great feedback so far, so thank you to everyone who helped bring food, or with cooking, or with just coming and supporting us.

Tonight we went to a small family pre-Christmas get together. It was complete with turkey and potatoes. It was fun to exchange gifts with some of the people that we won't get to see on Christmas day, but it made it all very real. Christmas is not very far away! It will be here before we know it!

This week we have one other Christmas party, but other than that we will be preparing for our super long roadtrip. I will probably be taking another break from the blog until we are back. I'm just so glad to no longer be a stressball.

To all of our friends; we wish you a very Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! We are sad that we won't be around for fun get togethers, but we look forward to many more next year.
