I  think — truly, it seems sometimes like it is never done until Christmas day passes.  Steve and I snuck out for a quick two-day shopping trip and did ALL of our shopping in that time frame as we hadn’t even started yet. We did the same thing last year and really had a fun time both years, so I’m thinking this will become a holiday tradition for us.   We were fortunate to have unseasonably warm temps and no snow both this year and last, so that was an added bonus. Now, if I could get everything wrapped up real soon, I’d be one happy camper!

In the meantime, I’ve spotted some cards that Michelle has posted that I missed — take a look:

This is just a peek — how fun it is!
