LOTS

December has been CA-RAZY! With what you ask? Well, here's a sampling...

We've already had TWO snow days. That's our allotment for the year. Good luck with that.

Ringing the Salvation Army Bell. Again, la familia is a BIG draw.

Ted has the next two weeks off! So we went on a DATE today! In the middle of the day!! But this was before that....chillin' with the Baxtie Boy.

I've been doing some baking. That's right. Suzy homemaker and all. No turds this year....

Tonight our Life Group from church went caroling at an assisted living facility. We are not good, but they still loved us. Sweeties.

We've also had quite a few holiday parties and concerts. LOVE this time of year. But also have to keep it in check and perspective. This is the second year our church has done Advent Conspiracy. Check it out: http://adventconspiracy.wordpress.com/

I had Kaleb this month for one-on-one time and we helped serve a holiday meal at Madison's largest food pantry. That really helped us refocus this season. Advent Conspiracy: "What would it look like to reclaim the Christmas story from our culture of consumption, and celebrate what it's really about, the arrival of God's redemption project in our world?" I strongly recommend at least checking out this website. Merry Christmas!
