I promise I have not disappeared this week before Christmas (and our anniversary week!). 

I have been chasing after memories and thoughts the last few days, as I try to type out the story of Max & Kaylee, to share for you all.  I figured it would be fitting, seeing as how our 2-year wedding anniversary is this Thursday. 

This past weekend?!  Max's birthday was a great day filled with lots of coffee, too much pistachio cheesecake, the new version of the Grinch, presents and friends.  Sunday, after church, I baked Christmas cookies with Amy - we made lots of cookies to eat and send home with her.  It was a good time and we got a lot done.  I LOVE Christmas cookies, although it is a dangerous thing having them in the house - my new daily goal is to avoid eating one, as one often leads to twelve, ha ha!  

The kids are fighting a little cold, and this week holds errands and house-cleaning, so we can be ready to celebrate Christmas this weekend!  I am excited!  Anyways, stay tuned for the first installment of the story of Max & Kaylee...I hope to have it done soon!
