our version of a christmas card.

every other year, i like to do a christmas letter instead of a card.

last year was a photo card.

so letter it is!

i only sent it to far away friends and family, so if you didn't get one, don't feel badly.

we love you. 

i was just lazy and didn't want to fold that many things.

all things christmas.

okay. 

all christmas all the time.

first year in a house means i took pictures of every decoration.

even this one. in the bathroom.

see. holding nothing back.

but really. indulge me. 

we're homeowners... which i used to think was exciting and i now think is a lot of work.

so this is extra exciting.

(micah's crazy looking handprint. you try and get a one year old to put his hand in paint and put it on a tree skirt. we're going to do this every year... hopefully the handprints get less crazy or we've got real issues.)

micah's artwork. haaa

homemade placemats!

joy to the world!

two words.

well, it's been a busy month for us.
duh. everyone's busy.
making gifts. being sick. taking care of sick ones 
(me taking care of baby and matt doing you know, his job. doctor stuff.)

so here's a quick snapshot of life lately. try to caption everything in two words, you say?
challenge accepted.
