Holidays for us are always insane. Sometimes to the point of not being enjoyable. We just have soooo many families to see. We always love to see everyone, but you can only eat turkey so many times in a weekend. Plus, it’s really hard on the girls to travel around, not get naps, pose for a gillion pictures and visit with everyone. Not to mention all the effort it takes to pack bags, make food, and get everyone dressed and out the door on time. Over and over. I just try to tell myself, if you’re going to have a problem, too much family is a good problem to have. To add to the enjoyment of the holiday, I was sick and lost my voice. I felt terrible all weekend and didn’t really get to talk to anyone because I couldn’t talk. At least we had lots of delicious food and good company everywhere we went!

We also scheduled Madelyn’s baptism for this weekend to save everyone an extra trip. Madelyn’s Godparents are my friend Traci and Adam’s brother David. Not growing up Catholic, I don’t have any Godparents. I love that our girls each have two special people who will be shining examples of Christ and will always support them and love them unconditionally. Madelyn did great! I thought for sure she would cry because she hates to get a bath. But she just sucked on her fists with an unimpressed look on her face. I will say Madelyn definitely had the most paparazzi and it was a little crazy afterwards. Congratulations on your Baptism, Madelyn. It is my deepest wish that you will always find comfort in the Lord and praise him for your blessings. Mommy and Daddy thank Him daily for blessing us with you!
Overall, our weekend was pretty busy/crazy/hectic. But we have so much to be thankful for. And the best part!? Now it’s Christmas!!!!
