Christmas is here!......Finally!

Last week was one of the busiest, most insane, exhausting, not fun weeks of my life. Glenn had finals, which means I have no husband. I barely saw him at all last week, which isn't totally unusual, but given the facts that the kids were sick, I've been fighting a cold, and the exhaustion & nausea the little bundle of "JOY" growing inside me causes, I really would have liked to have a husband. The kids enjoyed being toted to mutual & enrichment, however sometimes breaks are needed. Which brings me to the meaning of this post....

Christmas is finally alive in the Sorensen household. I was able to take off Saturday for a few hours BY MYSELF and shop! It was wonderful and much needed after last week. We got our tree last night and the decorations came out. It's by far my favorite holiday. (I can't say time of year since I'm not a fan of the cold weather) But I do love the Christmas season.

Unfortunately this year we will not be mailing out Christmas cards, so don't feel like we don't love you, just know that I am lazy. We tried for a family photo shoot after church a week ago, and with 2 nap times past, we did't get any decent pictures. We are shooting to send out New Years cards, but don't get too exciting, that probably won't happen.

Things are going well this week. We are all feeling better, and have some fun things planned. I'll try to keep updated.

This is the only picture we got of Aubs. She had to go to bed. This was probably one of the proudest moments Glenn has had since being a Dad. Dallin was truly excited about all the Star Wars ornaments we have for our tree. (we have more Star Wars ornaments than not. Not something I'm proud of, or support)
Dallin put all the ornaments in the same spot. I had to keep telling him to find another branch.

Is it normal for a 3 1/2 year old to have to throw gang signs in EVERY picture he's in? You can kinda see his clump of ornaments behind him.
