I should probably save the excuses

but I’ve been using them to reassure myself…

Between the round of croup that invaded mid December, and a family wedding one week before Christmas, here is a list of things I meant to do, but never accomplished. I’m calling it my post-Christmas card. (Notice the family picture below) I’m sure next year, well, you know….

• Prepare family photos as gifts for all grandparents (this one required actually taking a photo in time to send one)
  
• Bake goodies for neighbors and friends
  
• Print out a recipe to accompany goodie plates to neighbors and friends
  
• Pot blog update for December
  
• Visit some women from church and let them know I’m thinking of them
  
• Sew blankets for the twin boy preemies who are now home from the hospital
  
• Hem my neighbor’s maternity jeans
  
• Organize our music downloads (why this was on my holiday to-do list is still a mystery even to me)
  

…Sigh…

Happy New Year!!!

For those of you who expected a post like this (and probably have your doubts about next year)- you can just
keep that to yourself.
