so...

this week was just so...lots of things.
so good.
so crazy.
so still wanted to be in nyc with pat.
so loved doing lots of our christmas traditions.
so loved the weather.

this was the show we saw in nyc. we definitely brought the cup home. and i LOVED drinking my water out of it this week...with my chipping silver nail polish as memories of the magical weekend.

 

these 2 are LOUD. and crazy. and boys. and i WILL be sad one day when soccer isn't being played in the kitchen. right?!?

our kids get 3 gifts. i had 25 minutes before the next thing one afternoon and locked myself in the basement. wrapped their gifts. as i got 1 for each of the kids wrapped, i put them on the steps and called them to come get THEIR gift and put it under the tree. no bows. nothing fancy. but they are wrapped and under the tree!

i've been reading the greatest gift this december. it's so so good. and i rush downstairs when my alarm goes off in the morning because i can't wait to read the next days' reading. and it's really helped keep my heart focused on what's really important when all the other stuff threatens to take over.
