Come let us walk in the light of the Lord*

Last week was exhausting and I will need a week to recover! But, of course, we had a wonderful time together doing all the things.

Watching the parades with Mimosas and cinnamon rolls…

Eating big meals…

…and throwing a swingin’ party on Friday complete with DN’s party punch and charcuterie board…

But we totally forgot to take any pictures!

After daughter #2, DN and Katie headed back east, we consoled ourselves with bingeing our favorite Christmas movies to start off the holidays…

And we put up the little tree…

After bringing up lots of Christmas stuff from the basement, daughter #1 left Sunday morning to pick up her new puppy…

…and we went to church with the boy and the wee twins. Afterwards we celebrated the boy’s birthday in our familiar style…

…with food (you don’t have to eat your veggies on your birthday!) and cake and presents…

And then I collapsed.
