The big before-Christmas December post

I still remember how overwhelming last December was, so I purposely scaled it back this year. We still had all the basics - decorating, baking, parties, etc., but it was much less stressful.

I tried to get a good Christmas picture while we were at Grandpa Steve's house, but the sun was just too bright that day. Oh well, I didn't send Christmas cards this year anyway.
