I know. It’s no excuse. Cdog and I have failed our blog once again. I am pretty sure the same thing happened this time, last year. I know Christen has been away most weekends since October. I have not been away, but slammed pack with activities. It’s that time of year, I guess. However, I wanted to let you all know that we are sorry. We are. We won’t let this happen again (we probably will).
For now, we leave you with this.
Jelly meat from Russia. Just because we love you.
If we don’t blog again before the holidays, Happy Holidays!
