Keeping It Real, Grinch Style
Posted by Jenn onTuesday, December 6, 2011
I have pictures and a post to write about our baby's first birthday party. Someday I'll get it up. Hopefully before December is over.
It was the most laidback, casual 1st birthday party we've ever had. It was just family, some snacks, and a gorgeous cake! It was perfect! Pictures soon, I promise.
I just finished working on the invitations for Reagan and Elliana's joint 3rd birthday party. The theme is ladybugs. I can't believe our girls are going to be 3 years old!
Let me recap. Four parties in 4 weeks, two of those parties within six days of each other. I'm going to admit, I can't help but wonder if God is playing a cruel joke on me. 3 birthdays within 6 weeks of each other, DURING the holiday season. Really?!
Now I'm trying to address 150 Christmas cards, finish Ashlynn's Christmas stocking, start shopping for Christmas gifts, do some holiday baking, and maintain my designing schedule. I think, no, I know, I bit off more than I can chew.
So somewhere between the twinkling lights and the birthday parties, I'm in desperate need of the holiday spirit.

I think the holidays come with a side of Grinch for everyone! That many birthdays so close to the holidays is so crazy - I'm sure you're stressed out!
oh my word, you are one busy woman!!! crazy!! I hope you survive it all :)
I TOTALLY feel you! I've been feeling the same way. I so wish I didn't enter every December feeling overwhelmed. I don't think that's how the Christmas season is supposed to feel...
I'll pray for both of us with this. :)
Um that's a lot!
could have sworn I pushed publish, but my comment never showed? Anyway, I'm right with you praying for more simplicity and saying "no" to those things that seem like "have tos" but really aren't. I agree with Christine, this season isn't supposed to make us stressed and grumpy. I love you friend!
I know the feeling! I have so much scheduled for the next few weeks, when I am techically on "break" from classes.
I can't wait to see pictures!!
I hope you get a breather soon my friend :)
