See? We really DID live it up in November!! I know we did more but it's lost in my jumbled mind by now ;) I've got pictures to prove most of it and may even have to think about putting together a slide show or something fun like that .. I feel like I haven't shared many pics lately with all of the projects I've been working on. Then again since I haven't posted for over a month I guess I haven't shared much of ANYTHING - pictures or otherwise!!
I've decided to capture my December a little better. I am doing a "Photo a Day" project this month. Hopefully I can keep up with getting them posted daily but may have to play catch-up every once in a while. I love the month of December ... and not just because it is my birthday month ;) It is a wonderful time to teach my kiddos to think of others and remember the Savior in all of the madness that can take over during the holidays. My photo for today actually happened by accident but I love it. I was taking pics of things around the house and Kendyl asked if she could take a picture. This girl *LOVES* to take pictures!! I'm always hesitant to let her use my "good" camera but decided to let her take a few. She wanted to take a picture of my nativity set. This is the photo she took just as it came out of the camera (minus the date I added). I love the focus on the baby Jesus and Mary. Although I know Kendyl didn't snap it to be intentionally perfect, I thought it ended up being the essence of what the holiday season is about. Thanks to Kendyl for the perfect start to my PAD project!!

Loved the list Kari! And I think the photo turned out fantastic!
Another design team??? You are seriously crazy! How in the world do you have time for these things? Has Liv shared her secrets with you on how to run on no sleep? Love the picture! She is a little scrapbooker in the making. Miss you! :)
When you don't post for a month we have no idea what is going on with you and your family. I know I could call, but I don't as often as I should. I am looking forward to seeing a post a day!
You always seem to have a lot going on! I've decided you're one of those people who can't sit still! ;) I wish I were that way! I am trying to lose weight... yeah during the holidays this is going to suck! Can't wait to get my eliptical for Christmas!!!
Kari---how do you do it??? Your Nov. list made me feel about 2 inches tall. I need to get moving!! There's always way more to do than I can keep up with. I love that Kendyl took a picture of Mary and Baby Jesus---and that's what you chose for your 1st PAD... it really is the best thing to think about ALL month! Thank-you Kendyl.
Your a nut! I can't keep up with your life, I don't know how you do it! I was just going to recap November as well, my list will be about 1/4 the size of yours! Love ya girl!
