Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I haven't blogged in a while, and truthfully?...it's because something's gotta give at this time of year. We have been doing so many really fun things since I last blogged, and I would love to get on here and document them, but I haven't. We had Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities with lots of picutres...The boys are doing and saying such precious things, but they are also 3 and 1...bottom line... 

I. have. no. extra. time. 

 I wanted to get on here and post this last post - probably for the year...maybe for a long time... Maybe the holidays are making me all sentimental, or maybe just overwhelmed...or a little of both, but I'm thinking about buying some journals and shutting down the blog. I am trying to simplify in the hustle and bustle - trying to notice things that are unneccesary... I can just jot down their stats and the cute things they say in a journal (much faster than blogging)... and {BAM} it's already there for them to have in the future... Old school, but simplified.... sounds nice (and, let's face it...you could all keep up with me from facebook/instagram/etc...!). The truth is that my blog just makes me feel a little behind all the time, and I don't like that feeling. I also never do anything with the posts... I have also thought about putting the effort I used to give to blogging into a yearly photo book and update it (like a blog) but then have it printed at the end of the year...I think that would be a better use of my "computer efforts..." 

Ok, I didn't mean to make this into "Late night thoughts from Carrie on blogging and time..." - all that to say - I'll be back later (probably next year) to let you know my decision on all of this...so here you go,

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, from my family to yours!!!
