Wowza! What a crazy weekend!

So, December is always a crazy month. After Xavier was born in December, it got a little crazier trying to make sure he gets a non-Christmas birthday party, but still wanting the decorations up long enough to enjoy them and make them worth the time. After Makenzie was born in December, I just mentally prepared myself for on nutso month. So far, it's living up to my expectations. In our little ex-pat family of close friends over here, we've got a birthdays on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of December (We also have 5 November birthdays, but those have been survived for the year). This year the kids turned 1, 2, and 5. Not close enough to have one big party, so our kids have been spiked on birthday sugar since Thursday.

Adding to the fun of December is a gymnastics competition the first Sunday and the church Christmas program the second Sunday (with a practice the Saturday before). Sadly, its all caught up with Ezekiel this morning so he's at home for the day with Makenzie and me.

My posts are going to be in pictures and I'll try to caption them, but with two kids home today and a party to prepare for on Saturday, if I don't get the pictures up today it's just not going to happen. That will make grandmas and grandpas sad, so here goes.

I hope you all are able to take the time this month and remember why we're celebrating!
