Of lately...

December has been a busy month between juggling candle orders, full-time jobs, church callings and keeping our own little family in line. And most days, I just plain forget to lug my camera around. Sometimes it just feels so good to live without constantly taking photos, but for those precious moments, I'm grateful for cell phones that have built-in cameras! Here's a few random photos of some of what we've been up to lately...

I'm on vacation until mid-January. yay! My blue-eyed boy Alex left on vacation with one of his best friends, Simon. That was hard for Mama, but I'm okay now. Mostly. No, really, I'm okay now. I have been really, really homesick this Christmas and that has been hard especially because I love Christmas so much. This week I'm just hanging out with my girls, missing my boy, wishing Sam was on vacation too and being a little bored indoors. But we've been busy with Just Dance 3, painting finger nails and making jewelry. No photos. Like I said, sometimes it just feels so good to just be!
