2 plus 2 equals 4: It's that time of year!!

I LOVE Christmastime! I seriously love everything about it. Including the stressful family pictures, trying to remember to hide the elf EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, trying to remember to put up a new stocking on our advent calendar with some sort of Christmas-y activity inside EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, putting up the decorations that the kids pull down over and over again, hanging lights and fake pine tree boughs everywhere (much to Mark's dismay), Christmas carols at the stores, the smell of our REAL Christmas tree, turning the AC off and the heater on, art projects and glitter everywhere, baking cookies, buying and wrapping presents... Seriously. The list goes on and on.

The only thing I don't like is that my camera broke. Again. I don't even just dislike that. I HATE IT! I loved my new camera, but apparently the SD card I put in somehow shorted out the whole thing and I can either pay to have it shipped off and fixed or buy a new (used) one for just about the same price. So I went to Walmart and bought a $29.99 special that has screen with huge pixels on it, like our old Atari game. It sucks. But at least I can take pictures of CHRISTMAS!

Side note- I just looked at the pictures the first time on the computer. They are TERRIBLE! I apologize in advance for any headaches that might occur just in trying to look at them for all the blurriness. The camera is going back this weekend and I will be buying something that can actually take a picture in focus. Ugh.

Miss Star is back!!
