December is turning into an extremely busy month for me, even more than usual. Yesterday we celebrated my amazing Dad's birthday with a family picnic by the river. Lots of good home cooked food, some bubbly, lots of laughter, and the kids & the dogs swam to their heart's content in the river. Then we rushed home to greet my daughter's friends who were coming over for a sleep-over party. With five 9-year olds, plus my two little 6-year olds, it was a house full of giggles (quite late into the night!).

Now that those two very special birthdays are over, I can focus on Christmas. I love this idea of adding a little bauble on your Christmas wrapping. How are your Christmas preparations coming along?
