Christmas Cards

  • Christmas is Here!

Christmas Eve is here and guess who DOESN’T have all of her shopping done…. yup, ….that would be ME. I STILL have like 3 things to get and I’m afraid of Broad Street.

So I’m heading to Target soon to try to conquer my list and then I’ll start the wrapping process.  Something else that ISN’T done is our Christmas Cards… I’ve mailed about 3 of them. That’s it. We had them printed and have had them sitting in our house for about two weeks and yet I still haven’t had time to sit down and address them! ah! They will definitely be late but hey! it’s the thought that counts…. right?

It’s crazy that we have only been here a few months…. I feel like I have known these families so much longer and it’s wonderful.

I was completely amazed. It made me want to be a florist! They BEST part about their job is that they’re so passionate about it.
