A bit late for a "Happy New Year" post, but that's only because we have been enjoying some quiet, lazy, do-nothing days. Christmas exhausted me as I went above and beyond with the holiday cheer. Like most moms, I try to fit it ALL in and sometimes ALL is just too much. One of my resolutions for 2012 is to not try and take on quite as many tasks. As much I want to do it ALL, for my own sanity, I need to learn to say 'No' every once in awhile. That way there can be more afternoons like this one we had last week (twice)...
Chilly day, hot chocolate and our current favorite movie, Tangled.
Bridget's school break lingered through last week and we enjoyed (nearly) every second of it at home. No errands, no after Christmas sales, no dance class, no school...simply wonderful and what a refreshing way to start the new year!
New hats from Jody and hooray for our first real cold front!
Playing, playing and more playing!
Ross desperately needed a haircut, so we did venture out for that. His first trim back in August didn't go do well, so I'd been avoiding it. He proved me wrong and sat there like a little statue watching every snip of his hair.
His dashing new look and a well deserved lollipop!
We are back on our regular routine this week, but will definitely be remembering to take some extra time this year to slow down, relax and just do nothing every once is awhile!
