I am a little behind this year and have had a handful of people ask me when my Christmas card would be posted...
So here it is:

(the tune of Up on the Rooftop)
Up from the bed, I jump... and pause...
Out the door a few minutes later I head for a stress relief cause!
Down through gym doors, for a little CrossFit workout I hope to destroy..
All for an hour and a half for myself--
That brings me much joy!

Ho! Ho! Ho!
Every Mom knows...
Ho! Ho! How!
Every Mom knows...
That a few moments of "me" time a day
Quick! Quick! Quick!
And one glass of wine
Does the trick!

Back in the door, first comes the stalking...
Of 3 little kids and one who smells
Oh Lord! Dear me!
Everyone needs something, and yells!
Change one diaper, give one a pop tart..
One child laughs, one cries,
One that asks 1000 questions-
All I want to do is shut my eyes!


Ho! Ho! Ho!
Every Mom knows...
Ho! Ho! How!
Every Mom knows...
That a few moments of "me" time a day
Quick! Quick! Quick!
And one glass of wine
Does the trick!


Next comes getting out the door to school, if you will!
Oh, just put on your shoes and coat, and I hope you have on panties (good manners we instill)...
Little ones are still in their PJ's, hand full of snacks...
To hold them over for a few minutes
And muffle the whining before we get back!

Ho! Ho! Ho!
Every Mom knows...
Ho! Ho! How!
Every Mom knows...
That a few moments of "me" time a day
Quick! Quick! Quick!
And one glass of wine
Does the trick!

Jerad is already out the door to work each morn.
He greets me at the door, I am going in and he out.
Before he drives away, I make him promise he is coming back at 4.
He gives a laugh, a wave, and a kiss..
And for the next 8 hours, he is who I will miss!

Ho! Ho! Ho!
Every Mom knows...
Ho! Ho! How!
Every Mom knows...
That a few moments of "me" time a day
Quick! Quick! Quick!
And one glass of wine
Does the trick!

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Here's to surviving 2014 and we're...
Grateful for your friendship and prayers once again..
As we are so blessed despite the craziness we live in!

Love,
Jerad & Anna & Co.
