Can you say "over-committed"?

The week before Christmas ate my lunch!! It was filled with school functions--a board meeting and preparing for the Christmas parties (I'm the room coordinator for both classes); the girls had haircuts one afternoon; I had a doctor's appointment one morning; we took our Christmas picture another afternoon; the kids were beginning to get sick--we visited our pediatrician three times in four days; Elle had her winter ballet/tap recital; we squeezed in some last minute Christmas shopping; forget about wrapping gifts, laundry and packing for our Dase Family Christmas trip! No wonder it's two weeks later and I'm still trying to catch up!!



Once we made it to Sugar Land on Sunday things settled down a bit. All the cousins played as if no time had passed since we last got together. We had a wonderful Christmas with the Dase clan. The girls were excited about celebrating Baby Jesus' birthday and Santa was good to all of us.

The girls got new bikes from Carroll and me for Christmas. We gave them to the girls a couple of days early. Elle didn't even want to change out of her ballet clothes before taking a spin.

Cannon was a real trooper with all the comings and goings the last two weeks. Here he is enjoying a stroller ride yesterday.
