Sitting on my favorite chair, cup of hot cocoa in hand, (fairly) quiet house, To Do list completed, and I'm about to . . . wait for it . . . read a book!  Had to document this moment because it may well be another 3 years before it happens again.
#ahhhhhhhh

Climbing with my girl Emma!

I assured Jared that most professors DON'T require silly projects in college.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Find me ONE other person in the greater Seattle area who wore a TANK TOP outside today.  Bonus if he/she was also BAREFOOT!

#Bigbrothers are the #bestbabysitters.

Homework by lantern light.  No, the power isn't out.  It's just #raisingAdana.

Decorating for the ward Christmas party.  Cuz it just wouldn't be December if we didn't have something scheduled every single night.

Just one of the many reasons why the kids like Baba best.

Walking to Christmas Eve Mass.

STILL pouting.  Any guesses why?  Hint:  we just left Costco.
(Answer:  So why the 20 minute pout?  Because the guy forgot to draw a smiley face on our receipt as we left.  She was seriously irate over it.  It dragged on so long because the last time they forgot the smiley face, her Baba went back in & asked for one.  Mommy isn't nearly that nice.  #spoiledlittleprincess)

Significant milestone achieved.  We went to the zoo yesterday WITHOUT a stroller!
#itwasFantastic

Another tooth out!
#ThanksBaba

Happiness is having a son who randomly brings home a bag of Oreos after dropping his little sister off at basketball.  (I am so easily pleased.)

Oh this post! Makes me thankful. I just read it with a big ol grin. I am wondering if you and Nathan went to the party as an oxymoron...the holy man and the not holy woman? What are you reading? I just finished the school of essential ingredients and Sarah's key. Both great, quick reads. Trying to make sure to quickly journal too, but just brief. Glad you are posting.

Is that the only picture you could come up for me? I look like a depressed sheik.
