December in Review

And because I know everyone is just dying to know what I did this month, here’s December in review. If you hover over the pictures it pops up the description, or you can click one and go through them slideshow style, or you can glance at them in their mosaic with no explanation and go “huh.” Whatever you want.

I would be remiss if I didn’t say Happy New Years Eve. If all goes according to plan I should be at a party. Yay! And if things go further to plan I will post about it tomorrow. Something to look forward to.
