Just Call Me Martha!

Well, I am not doing so good at having a "Mary" Christmas.  I have been just as busy as ever.  My thought was that if I do everything then I can sit back and relax.  Well, I've realized that I will never be done because I keep thinking of more things that I need to do or could do.  If this continues all my stuff will get done and then some but I will have completely failed at my intent to have a "Mary" Christmas.  So, my new goal is to do a little bit at a time and take time daily to rest, relax, play a game, do a puzzle, color a picture, watch a movie, whatever.  If my Christmas cards don't go out until after Christmas so be it.  If my neighbor doesn't get a plate of homemade cookies so be it. You get the idea.  I think this plan will work better.  I am succeeding (with God's help) to get up early every day for quiet time--prayer and reading.  Wow, that makes a difference in my perspective and my attitude.  I have also really missed blogging so I'm back!  I didn't realize how much I enjoyed it and how it actually was good for me.  
I've posted a bunch of pictures from the last couple of weeks.  We've been to Disney twice--I love the Christmas decorations, parades, lights, etc.  Grace has had her show and did wonderful.  The girls are performing tonight and in a parade tomorrow.  It will be a fun but busy weekend.  We have our big quilt party Sunday night so I will post pictures of my quilt after that.  
I'm off to fix dinner and get ready for our evening!  I'm sure I'll get some pictures posted this weekend.
