December 2009

As we head into December and the Christmas season my aim for our family this year is to slow down. Easier said than done I know. With the kids being at school until 23 December (and I have 3 boys in 3 different schools this year) it gets crazy just with the school activities alone. I'm hoping to be super organized at home and on top of schedules and commitments that we don't over commit to things, but make time to just be together and do the fun things like baking cookies etc. Our family tradition is to put up the Christmas tree on the first weekend in December. This is always such fun as we go out together to hunt for the perfect tree for our home. Most importantly I want my boys to remember the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of Jesus' birth.
