holiday aftermath.

Sorry for the radio silence- I had kind of an unintended technology blackout! After Christmas, I kind of just crashed. I don't need to bore you with the details, but we've had a nasty kind of cough/cold floating around our house for the past few weeks and, combined with us trying to do everything the season offered... and it kind of all caught up with me. I spent most of the kids' school vacation relaxing and really enjoying their company- I'm a little embarrassed to admit that after four months of them being in school full time, I wasn't sure how it would go. I'm really in no shape to take them out by myself because I'm moving at about 1/100th of my regular speed... so I was worried about how long days at home would go, but it turned out that they were excited to have each other to play with and we actually did end up doing a little something outside of home almost every day of break- the museum, the trampoline park, a quick trip to Massachusetts. I didn't take many pictures, and I didn't have any expectations for any of it, and our house is still in a state of major chaos, but I'm okay with that... it was seriously so much fun. 

Anyway, I know it's kind of late, but here are some of our pictures from Christmas! 

Tree Decorating Day:

Starting the day with cocoa & marshmallows. Not too shabby.

Delish.

Passing the time.

Decorating fun.

So proud of their  beautiful tree!

We camped out under our beautiful tree. (Not terribly comfortable when you're 8 months pregnant, btw) 

Christmas Morning: 

Looks like Santa enjoyed his cookies.

Christmas Dinner at Auntie Kim & Uncle Gordon's:

Happy Birthday Ollie!

"Oh, there's my letter. Take my pisher with it."

Taken at the end of a looong day, so it was what it was :)

Now that the holidays and vacation are over, we are getting back into the regular swing of things. I think you may have figured out that I love the holiday season... buttttttt I also kind of love when it's over, too. I'm looking forward to getting this house back in order (the tree finally came down a couple of days ago- along with 100% of it's needles), Valentine's Day... and welcoming our new little one! Just 28 days to go!
