Instead of Blogging

Hope everyone is enjoying the happiest of holidays! Instead of blogging, I have been busy...

-working on lots of holiday card orders, and finally getting to our own cards just in the nick of time, as in I'm pretty sure most of them arrived on Christmas Eve, but that still counts :)

-taking family photos, x3! and trying to get the girls to look up and smile at the same time {impossible}

not THE one, but love the girls expressions anyway

 

-making reindeer cookies for gifting-- so easy & fun! I used peanut butter cookie dough

-pondering on how to gift wrap certain things...

-Christmas shopping in my pajamas, thank you Amazon!

-crafting for Avery's school party

-picking up our house constantly so we can seal this home selling deal...do we have a place to move? no. but that's next on the list!

-having fun putting the girls in footie pajamas (matching, of course) because it's actually burrrrr outside--

sweet Nana

 

-Wrapping like crazy!

-celebrating Granddaddy's birthday. It's hard having a bday the day after Christmas, but he's a good sport :)

I am ready to relax and sleep for a week! HA, like that will ever happen. I'll share some Christmas pics soon but I'm really mad at myself for not taking more this year. Guess we were a little busy exhausting enjoying ourselves!

2012 has had it's fair share of ups and downs in the Bub family...I'm hoping that 2013 brings a new place for the Bubs to call home, new challenges overcome, new hope and new happinesses for my precious girls. Maybe some grace for their parents! Happy New Year to you and yours.  

Life in quick pics

I love the fact that I can take a quick photo on my phone on the go, when my big quality camera isn't around. How sad that previous generations didn't get to capture these funny, everyday happenings and then share them in seconds with each other at work or wherever! All we could do was tell a story back then, but the magic of a photo is totally different... Bub the hub loves getting a quick pic of what silly things the girls are doing during the day. And I love sharing them with him, and other family and friends.

I got a new cell phone in August, so here is what's been going on in quick pics since then:
