here we go

can you believe it's december already?  seriously, where did the year go?  time is going by so fast and i haven't had a chance to catch up yet.  remember that post from bobby?  and the rest of my gratitude posts.  unfortunately, it's only going to get crazier. 

but . . . i am doing my december daily again this year.  i've completed it 2 years now and it is a book that i love looking back on.  it reminds me to keep it simple and focus on those little moments that make this month so special.  i am inspired by ali, of course, and molly.  i'll try and post my pages here when i can.  here's the page i did as my opening.  it sums up the month that awaits us.

today is also the first of four birthdays we are celebrating in our family this month.  my mom and dad and nephew all have birthdays in december.  but today it's all about bobby.  he is off at work today and hopefully someone is taking him to lunch and getting him a big cake.  tonight my family and bob and d are coming for dinner.  i am making 8 pizzas, and a salad.  he wanted to bake his own cake yesterday and wow, what a cake.  i'll share pictures later but let's just say there was food coloring, lots of chocolate frosting and lego figures involved.  i fell asleep before he was done and this morning i looked at it and was amazed at what he had created.  and if it tastes good i will hand over the spatula to the new ace of cakes.

so today we celebrate the first day of the last month of the 2009, the countdown to christmas, a birthday for a special guy and a peaceful day, cause it's about to get CRAZY!!
