This December was just as short as all the others. I feel like it was just a few days ago that Matt and I were waiting anxiously for the UPS package that held our fancy new Android phones. That was December 2nd -over three weeks ago!
Since that day, we've had birthdays to celebrate, multiple Christmas parties, a couple of ski days, lots of shopping, some crafting and baking, and Christmas Day itself! And now I'm tired. But it was a good month, with a lot of fun events.
A few weeks ago, my family gathered to celebrate some birthdays. My mom (November 27) and two of my nieces (November 25 and December 5) shared their party this year.

Presents and cake. As usual, most of the focus was on the little one. She turned two, and the older birthday girls let her have most of the attention.
But it was not just birthdays that we had to celebrate. December is always a month filled with holiday parties. I attended four work-related gatherings and Matt had a big work retreat/happy hour at our house.
Kids' art from our school special education parent night, and Matt's work party in our living room.
The multiple events left little time for one of my favorite things about the days leading up to Christmas: working on various crafts and projects. In fact, as soon as the weather starts to turn colder, I get in the mood to cross-stitch, sew, or make cards. Back in October, I spent many nights working on little felt zombies that I gave away at my Halloween party.
Rawr. A few of the zombies I made.But once Halloween is over, I start thinking of ideas for Christmas cards, which I finished just in time to get them out before Christmas.
This year's Christmas card. The picture was taken by Dave when we went snowshoeing in February.
And just like that, December was almost over and Christmas was here. But more about that another time.
