Here we are at week 52 and its crazy that its time to start back at week one. We had a full, but relaxing week. We did lots of holiday type activities and it was one of the best Christmases we have had as a family.

Here’s our week . . .

Decorating cookies with friends on Christmas Eve.

These five have grown up together. Brooks and Gabriel met when they were both about a year old. They often think of each other as cousins.

Silas is becoming more animated when he sees the camera.

Silas (Dad) and Brooks wrote letters to Santa.

Setting out reindeer food.

Cookies and letters for Santa.

Finishing out our Advent Calendar.

Christmas Eve.

Trying to read the Christmas Story. Silas is on the ground. They were so hyper because of all the sugar they consumed.

Christmas Eve dinner for Mark and I – cobia with proscuitto, potatoes, carrots, and brussel sprouts.

Christmas morning.

Jonas loved his new cart. 

And Silas loved his snow globe with the nutcracker.

Playing at the Children’s Museum. Its blurry because Jonas was threatening to jump off the firetruck.

Making sugar cookies is no small task with busy little hands.

I was crazy and took all three to run errands on Christmas Eve during the monsoon.Children’s museum.

I have started to run around sundown a few times a week. So glad I am making myself get back into the habit.

Crocheting with Jonas at MAMA.

Grabbing a quick lunch with a friend while Mark took all 3 kids alone to the zoo so I could pack and clean. God bless him. 

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
