We've had a wonderful week off of school and work...lots of chill time at home, mixed with a few outings with neighbors and family. It's been a fairly low stress week, and I think we'll all be refreshed by the time it's ready to go back to the normal routine. I've also managed to check off some pretty big tasks on my vacation to-do list, and that feels great! I'm happy that I still have four more days left before heading back to work...more time for fun and productivity!
We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house. We ate SO much wonderful food, and had a fantastic time celebrating with both of them, as well as my aunt who was in town from Brooklyn. I'm so grateful that they have moved closer to us...we love being able to spend both big and small moments with them!
Christmas day was wonderful, too...we all had surprises under the tree and had a great time with our small family that day. We ended up getting Scott an air fryer, so we've been having fun figuring out the best way to use it. 2020 = less oil/butter in cooking!
G and I went to an early movie on the day after Christmas...I was surprised that there were so many people eating popcorn in the 8 o'clock hour. We loved seeing Frozen 2 - it had a great message, and it gave G and I some good mom/son time, as well as giving Ava some quiet time at home.
I'm going to tackle taking down the Christmas decorations today...it seemed like we just put them up! But, we're ready to bring on the new year...here's to a fresh start, and a new decade!
Look at that huge snowflake marshmallow!

Once again, I'm Blitzen at Christmas Eve dinner...ha!
We went light on the treats for Santa this year...I explained that he has a lot of food on Christmas Eve night, and we don't want to guilt him into eating more than he wants to. I think Santa appreciated that!
