Photo a Day - Dec 16- 22

Happy Christmas Eve! I cannot believe that it's already Christmas, which is crazy - since I've been listening to Christmas music for a solid 4 months, you'd think I'd be prepared when the happy holiday finally hit.

Our week has been generally miserable, as - like the rest of America, it seems - we were all sick for the first half of the week, and then we spent the rest of the week packing (including taking down our own tree *sniffle*) and driving to Nevada to stay with my parents for the holidays. Being here with my parents, brother, and sisters has been wonderful, though!
They have a new dog, a woodburning fireplace, and a Christmas tree covered in popsicle stick and pon-pom ornaments. In other words, it's the perfect Christmas.

Sun: With everyone in the family sleeping all day, I got a chance to wrap some presents. // Mon: Travis had to come home early for work, to sleep on the couch (and be snuggled by sick Micah.)

Tues: Grey built a very impressive and precarious stack of cans. // Wed: All those carefully wrapped presents? They did last three days, though!

 Thurs: I love that Grey sticks out his tongue when he's concentrating. // Fri: We left home in the wee hours and got to Grandpa and Grandma's house by the afternoon. We hung our stockings and cozied up to the fire.

Sat: With so many people in such a tiny house, my mom just has a mini-tree this year. It's pretty much the perfect size for little boys.
