Christmas 2008

Here are some pics from Christmas 2008. We had a great time this year even though the crowd was small. Yes. I said the crowd was small...Feliz Navidad!

Marissa, Merrean, Kiersten and I. I am the oldest cousin (at the ripe age of 21).

So many changes...

We have had a lot of changes gong on around here - the most significant? Me going back to work FULL TIME! Wow. It has been quite a big change for us. I knew how to have a career. I knew how to be a mom. But I did those separately! I am combining them now....and will have much more to say about that another time.

Another thing that has changed? I stopped sewing and made some cards!

I decided to join a Christmas card swap with my girlfriend Yesenia in Chicago...she's coordinating. This is what I came up with...in about 45 minutes using pre-cut papers from the dollar section at JoAnn's.

Glad to ink it up again. But will go back to sewing soon...
