To say "I've been busy lately" would be a gross understatement. WOW! It's been crazy around here. Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the holiday season. Aren't we supposed to relax and spend our time thinking about all the things we are grateful for? Shouldn't our focus be on the REAL reason for the season? I think God would be pretty disappointed in the actual amount of time I have allowed myself to think about his precious son who was born this wonderful month so many years ago. My plan is to spend this weekend catching up on decorating, applique shirts and laundry. Then next week it's cookie making, present wrapping and Christmas movie watching. And, a committment to remind my children (and myself) on a daily basis the true meaning of Christmas.
In a effort to catch up, I wanted to post a few pictures from Ella's Indian Pow-Wow that she had Thanksgiving week. This is the third pow-wow that she has been a part of, but it never gets old. She loves making her shirt, creating a drum and performing the "skit" to the same story each year.

I love the braided pigtails! Wish I could still get away with it. E loved our visit to the preschool today. He wanted to stay and play. I can't wait to do these things next year.
I totally agree with you on the fact that our lives tend to get a little crazy during the Christmas season. Last year, my eyes were opened when I was constantly running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I told Erik, " Wouldn't it be nice to just forget the presents and make homemade goodies and take to our friends, and maybe spend Christmas Day at church or helping a needy family?" We tend to put the REASON in the back and focus on what where going to by each person on our list. Its just not fun at times.
Cutest indian I've ever seen!
