A BLURRY MESS OF JOY

We are sooooo ready for Christmas! Are you? 99% of all purchases this year were made online. Yeah, like I could have made it through a single trip to any store this time of year with three kids.... and not lose my sanity. It's been perfect, each day the kids go down for a nap (well, we attempt, since now the boys get cheap thrills off climbing into each other's cribs and/or climbing out and destructing their room) and I open the front door to a surprise of brown packages just waiting to be secretly hustled downstairs into the "Christmas Closet." There the gifts await to be wrapped during the dark hours of the night when said naughty little kids have finally fallen asleep from sheer exhaustion and they are no longer energized enough to climb crib railings.

We tree shopped at our favorite tree farm again this year, which marks 6 years in a row (minus the year we lived with the folks). I of course only captured a few blurry shots of the children running in all different directions, at the same time. That's kinda how life is right now anyway so it was perfect... A fun blurry mess of smiles and laughter.



And if you're wondering why I have no pictures of my dearest daughter, it's a phase. We have to pretend to be texting to capture her, sans silly face making or hiding from the camera.
And if you're also wondering where our Christmas card is.... It will be a New Years card, because we're cool like that.

See you on the flip side!
