We may have bit off more than we could chew this month. With hosting two birthday parties, two family Christmas parties and just the normal holiday hectic hyperactivity, I was ready to go to sleep at 6 p.m. on Christmas. I was shopped, cleaned, decorated, organized, cooked and talked out. We got home after enjoying a fun brunch at Pop Pop and Mor Mor's on Christmas and just oozed into quiet areas of the house. We ate left-overs from our Christmas Eve party and watched Pan. After days of working and preparing and going and going and going, I needed it all to stop.

The next day we headed to Lincoln/Auburn to hike at Hidden Falls Regional Park. It was just what we needed. We hiked for a couple of hours and on the way we home we stopped by Goat House Brewery. We enjoyed a tasting and the boys had a delicious vanilla cream soda.

Check out the glasses Casey made with his new 3Doodler he got for his Birthday. Yesterday we hung out with Rita and Margery. Casey had a play date with friends. We put Christmas away, did the normal stuff like laundry, raked a biblical amount of leaves and just relaxed. I'm back at work today, but it's OK. I have New Years Eve and New Years Day off. Hoping to post pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day soon. Hugs all around.
