December, December, the most wonderful time of the year is here! November was a whirlwind of activities and seemed to go on longer than usual (I think having half a week of the month left after Thanksgiving contributed to that). We have already started to get ready for Christmas and it makes me so happy. Our tree is up and decorated, wreaths are hanging and pops of red and white fill our downstairs. I am so excited for December and all of the fun holiday joy it brings. I have set aside some of our ongoing goals (like painting our room or hanging curtains), because while it would be great to get those done, I want to spend December enjoying time with friends and family, participating in lots of Christmas traditions, baking, and celebrating. Here’s to December goals and a merry December to you and yours!
November Goals
-Start making a list of gifts we are giving and start shopping for Christmas gifts
-Test holiday recipes
-Paint our room (this will get done!)
-Get a Christmas tree (it sounds early, but there is still half a week of November after Thanksgiving!)
-Focus on what we are grateful for, not on what we want or lack
-Get ready for December parties
December Goals
-Throw a baby shower for two beautiful mamas-to-be

-Spread love to my morning bus driver, mailman, coworkers, and other people who help us throughout the year
-Go out to breakfast with Will before work (a tradition we started last year)
