I haven't posted a blog for a while. Mainly, because I use Facebook more and more now as my main resource of communication and connection, and partly because the demands of "mom" get the best of my time. Or, I just am lazy. If it is alright with you, I am just going to skip over Halloween and Thanksgiving and jump right into December.
I am going to call this month December Madness. Mainly because of all that happens in this month for us! I really enjoy all the festivities and love the lights, the baking, the decorations around the house, the advent calendar on the wall counting down the days... it all makes me feel cozy and assured that this is the time to share love, joy and peace with the ones we love. So far, December has been a lot of fun... but it does feel like madness at times! At the beginning of the month, I hosted and help decorate a table for our church's women's Christmas tea. It is so fun to have Heidi and her husband, Justin here in Missoula. She had the most darling Kate Spade china (with pok-a-dots) and I contributed the centerpiece and favors. It was our first time hosting for the event, so we did arrive later than we should have, forgot that we needed candles (I took a few tea lights from the kitchen so we wouldn't be the only ones no shimmering with light), and were the last table to tear down.
Haven and I attended the Christmas Teddy Bear Tea together. She loved meeting Santa and Mrs. Clause, make a craft (her jingle necklace), sip her tea and listen to a story read by Mrs. Clause. It was fun to hang out together (minus our cute, but crazy 17 month old) and feel like Christmas has truly come!
