Phew. It’s been a whirlwind of a month. We visited family for thanksgiving and instead of flying back, decided to drive. Heh. The kids were much better than I was expecting, thanks to one Baby Einstein video and the Little Mermaid. They may have the videos memorized, but we made it back in one piece without too much trauma.
Visiting family for the holidays was such a treat. Justin and I loved seeing all the relatives and the kids enjoyed it too. Violet and I had an ice skating adventure and the kids saw their first snow of the year going through Texas. We also got to spend the day with Justin’s siblings and my family at the annual Texas Renaissance Fair, which was lovely, as usual. My favorite part though was getting to see the Tartanics perform. They were awesome!
We’ve been back for a few weeks now which have been spent feverishly preparing for christmas events, laundry, decorating, laundry, shopping, laundry, hosting, more laundry. Ugh! Can you tell I’ve had a bad laundry day?

Then, to top it all off, I’ve actually lost my camera the day before Christmas. Very scary. I’ll be tearing apart my room tomorrow and seeing if I can’t track it down. If not, some unsuspecting soul may find their camera mysteriously missing for about 24 hours. Nyahaha. (with permission, of course).
Christmas, here we come!
And a small birhday P.S. Happy belated birthday, dad! I love you!
