After Max's birthday weekend things went a bit crazy around here. Plus, it felt really weird making a post on time so we wanted to get back to the routine of things. The week after his birthday wasn't actually chock full of events, but we were keeping ourselves pretty busy recovering from all the excitement.

We're creeping up on an on-time post again, I can just feel it. Now that we're fully recovered from all of our Thanksgiving shenanigans and I've sorted through all the photos, we can finally do this thing. Oddly enough, it seems like we're picking up right where we left off last time.

As with every year, we've arrived in the brief stretch between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The shopping is done, and Christy has nearly finished wrapping all the gifts (I've been too busy not blogging to help). The boys, though, have had their own business to tend to.

Looks like we're all caught up thanks to the partial lull we're experiencing in the lead-up to Christmas. Last week seemed somewhat uneventful even though we had a couple of social engagements to keep us busy. Of course, we're always busy around here keeping up with the two little guys.

Twas two nights before Christmas and...yeah, I'm not going to do that. We're in the final stretch of Christmas preparations and I believe we have as much done as is going to get done. Everything is assembled, wrapped, or otherwise ready for distribution and we're just waiting for Santa to show up so he can put the finishing touches on Christmas. While we wait, we find ways to fill time time.
