Picking Up Where We Left Off
Well, this morning I got up and packed 2 little lunch boxes after having 3 and a half weeks off! Again, I found myself feverishly roaming the aisles of Vons and Ralphs over the weekend searching for lunch box worthy items that my kids will eat and that are not complete junk.
We made it up and to school on time in the freeezing So Cal temps and it feels good to start back into our weekly school routine. No more late to bed and late to rise. No more jammies ’til noon.
Our Winter Break was wonderful and even though it was almost a month long, it flew by. I was thumbing through my camera roll this morning while sipping my coffee and couldn’t help but smile.
Our break was full of…
{package shipping}
{advent candle lighting}
{cookie baking}
{manger viewing}
{blessing bag delivering}
{sno-cone slurping}
{gallery wall hanging}
{In-N-Out lunching}
{fro-yo play dating}
{Vegas date night laughing}
{Lolo & Lola enjoying}
{pearly white polishing}
{prayer bead making and reconciliation preparing}

Twenty-Thirteen is already proving to be a busy one…the pages on my new Much Ado About You planner already have glitter gel penned commitments into the month of May! I love having big things on the calendar to look forward to, but at the same time I like quiet, family weekends where we work around the house and go on outings to Hollywood, LA or Santa Monica.
Right now I’m enjoying preparing for Holden’s 6th birthday party. How can it be? I recall printing the invites and gathering goodies for his 1st birthday celebration like it was yesterday……
Here is a hint to this year’s theme {because you KNOW there is a theme, right?}…
I’m so excited. Elliott’s 1st birthday was jungle/safari themed so I am loving coming up with similar {wild} ideas, but for an older crowd this time ~ kind of bittersweet because this is the last big party for Holden. From here on out, the birthday festivities will be much lower key and include just a few friends.
Still with a theme, of course.
Happy Monday, all!
XO
