What were my accomplishments this month?
I got all of our Christmas shopping done by December 13. I finished my Yesterday & Today online scrapbooking class on time.
What were my disappointments this month?
Hmmm…none? Guess that makes for a good month.
And since I haven't done it in a while, a collection of December photos that didn't make it to the blog.
Our pitiful Christmas tree, and our nosy puppy.
Norm eating cheesecake for breakfast, watching the news in the dark so as not to wake me; and being stumped by technology.
December in the metropolis of Bloomingdale.
The mailbox we almost bought (not!) and Target holiday decor. Norm actually walked away from me and was suddenly very interested in fresh vegetables when I took that picture. Oh the shame of being my husband in public.
A little Christmas light bokeh, with a Starbucks cup in front of our tree, and on a wreath at Cheeseburger Night.
