We had a lovely, quiet and relaxing Christmas week. We went to school/work through Friday the 22nd so we didn't have much time before to prep or enjoy the season.
We did end up going to a couple Christmas markets, ice skating, gift shopping, the kids indugled me by decorating the gingerbread people (some anatomically correct with all the parts- ha! Teens!) and so many long walks with Mogli.
We received some gift cards to our favorite book store - Dussmanns, and we spent a few hours there too. Love that place!
Here are a few more favorite shots from the past week:
Watching the Barbie Movie
Oh, and NYE was just as crazy and firework filled as usual. This time Marty and Benjamin even bought some and had fun lighting them off last night.
There is rarely a picture these days where one or both of the kids are not flipping off the camera🙄
Seriously, some people must spend the equivalent of their monthly rent on fireworks and this is what our nearby park looked like this morning.
And just down the street
This morning Marty and I went to one of our favorite breakfast places to work on our 2023 accomplishments/2024 goals. We have done this together on new year's day since 2004 and all in the same notebook ❤️ The past few years we try to get the kids involved too. Today Ben met us after he woke up (at 10:30) and Josie met us around noon after returning from spending the night with a bunch of friends. Funny, we used to get a babysitter so we could sneak away and talk through our year and what we wanted to do/see/be in the coming year. It is REALLY fun to see our kids embrace this tradition and especially cool to see all that they've done and want to do.
Like I said, every single picture 🌞🤣
