Lu & Co.: Sweet December

Whelp, I feel like I say this every month, but December literally just passed by in a blur of Christmas carols, Starbucks hot-chocolates, last-minute present-wrapping, attempts at teaching despite upcoming holiday-induced craziness, and fun times with friends and family.

I look back at my last post, and try not to sweat the fact that it's been over a month since I've blogged. I've got my reasons. There was the stress of wrapping up my grad-school assignments for the semester in early December, followed by the devastation at Sandy Hook Elementary, in which I couldn't and still just don't have to words to speak or write of. There was the week leading up to the holiday break, in which I literally had a Christmas party 4 of the 5 weeknights. And, then it was time to pack up for the holidays!

But, that doesn't mean I want a whole month to go undocumented. Especially a month filled with...

1. Awkward Self-Timer Christmas Card Photo-Taking

Yes, we totally took our camera & tripod into the woods off of a trail in our neighborhood, sat on a towel, and self-timed this fabulous holiday photo! Next year, I vow to get a professional!

2. Chemo-Completion Celebration for my dear friend and former co-worker, Carol!
