Why does it go by so fast?

December is a crazy month around here...we have school performances and parades...

and as soon as the kids were off on Winter Break Hannah had a special performance at Epcot, so we made a day of it...

and of course the Holiday is filled with out little traditions...like watching Christmas favorites,under the blanket,with hot cocoa...

and making all sorts of yummy cookies...

and Christmas morning...only seems to last a couple of minutes...

but that's ok because now that the kids are old enough to help with breakfast,Christmas breakfast is a whole lot sweeter...

and then we visit family...and open more gifts...

and treasure every second...

especially spending time with the folks...

and when all the busyness has started to calm down...a good family game is exactly what the doctor ordered.

"Long ago God drew a circle in the sand exactly around the spot where you are standing right now. You were never not coming here. This was never not going to happen.” — Elizabeth Gilbert

Here's to making every minute count,
