{Merry Christmas!}

...from the Poulsen family.

This year I really thought I'd be better, do better and think better.  Here it is, December 18th, and no Christmas card has been sent.  Not even to our own parents!  *gasp!*  I am going to dig today for two stamps, one for each of our parents...but for the rest of you who have waited patiently, complained, or wondered, here is our 2009 Christmas Card.



I promise that I don't expect a card, but if you do send one, it will hang right next to the only other one (ahem, mom and dad...it's not yours...I haven't gotten it yet) I HAVE received.

Either way, today I am in the Christmas Spirit of things.  Made 106 ginger cookies for friends and Tanner's blessed primary teachers.



Stayed up till 3:30 am last night working on two boys' quilts and other little things.  Am skipping my nap to tell the world that "It's ALMOST Christmas!" and took the day off of work so Ryan could go mediate.

The day began grim (when I woke up the third time), but by the fourth and final wake, I was ready to go!  We had a few glitches this morning, but all is well.  All is silent and my heart is at peace.

I didn't do christmas cards either. If you really want one steal a picture of my blog and put it on your fridge and say its from us. Save us both .42 cents. lol Love your post its great hope you get it all done. Just remember christmas morning your boys wont know ifyou got them everything or not they will be happy with what is under the tree.

Camille...postage is now an outrageous 44 cents! You musta missed the pay raise the post office has given themselves for the past 2 years...even while they are operating in the red!

Deanna...love your gingerbread! Don't work too hard...enjoy the season! It'll all be over in 7 days, but the memories will linger longer! :)

Deanna, no Christmas cards went out here, either. Oh well. *Something* had to give. Thinking about January (new year notes?) or February (love notes?) for getting something out from our family.

Love your card and your blog banner. I also loved hearing about your Christmas labors of love...
