Catching Up

As I make my yearly Christmas letter (a little later than I wanted but going out tomorrow none the less) I can't believe I've been mostly keeping up with the blog efficiently for a year. Yes, there are a few rough points, such as these past weeks, but I have done better than I ever expected.

Over all, Chad and I are doing well but busy. I've been crafting and preparing for the holiday. Half of my gifts have been given already, and the other half keep extending my deadline on me so I don't feel as rushed anymore.

The doll was completed and gifted, as seen here:


And is very much loved. Except that OCD has revealed all hidden ends... gosh darn it!

Chad and Grandpa have been back to the range, enjoying target practice:
And even had a picture of ourselves sneak in:

We enjoyed spending a little time with family


And my friends wedding was beautiful. Here we are with the bride and groom.


In other news, I passed my test and am now a blue belt in my karate and Chad continues to enjoy his fish.

I'll be better at updating now I'm not so stressed. Talk to you all later!

And enjoy this version of the 12 Days of Christmas:
