I’d like to say I haven’t blogged in a while because I’ve been so joyfully enjoying this Christmas break with my children. We’re baking cookies. Going on adventures. Playing games together. The reality of the situation is that we’re all about to strangle one another. Dan couldn’t wait to get back to work on Monday. [...]

Cookies

Tonight was the chosen night for making Christmas cookies at our house. First, the dog ran off. Just kidding… that was yesterday, when I was trying to get the kids off to school for the last time before the break. After dinner, I shooed the children out of the kitchen so I could clean up [...]

I hung the stockings today. We changed things around, so I couldn’t hang them in the same place as last year. And, we don’t have a fireplace. So… I hung them up the stairs. Makes it look like we have a big family, dontcha think? Btw, thank you to my wonderful, crafty, talented sister, Caroline, [...]

Dan took Luke and some of his friends to Lego Land today to celebrate Luke’s birthday. Better him than me! Afterward, the crew came back for some cake, presents and play time.

Lukie turned SIX yesterday. The night before, when I tucked him into bed, I asked him if he was excited about his birthday. He told me he was so happy to be turning six, because it means in four more years he’ll be 10. Ugh! I remember, as a kid, wishing for time to pass. [...]

Maybe I’ll write more about the trip, maybe not. It’s quickly becoming a distant memory as Luke’s birthday (tomorrow!) looms, then Christmas (for which I am so NOT prepared). But, for now, you get to view some great pics of the kids.

I hate to give away my age, but last weekend I celebrated a birthday. A significant one. To double ease the pain, my dear husband flew our entire family out to Utah so we could celebrate by attending his brother’s wedding. Nothing like getting someone else to pay for the party! It seems to be [...]
