Running in Circles

We had a wonderful Christmas at home, just the three of us! 

We were pretty bummed to "miss-out" on a family Christmas this year, but I was just about full-term and not loving or permitted to travel long distance. The holidays are just so great surrounded by more people and food and activities that you even know what to do with.

 Plus we don't own any puzzles

We spent Christmas Eve with friends for a potluck dinner and then had a fun Christmas morning watching Hazel open a few gifts. She finally got excited about opening presents and would ohh and ahh and yell "Surprise." She had a a hard time waiting though while Brice or I opened a gift too!

 Brice has stayed busy making a mess on the balcony-sawdust has been everywhere! He's been busy making himself a standing desk for his office at work. It's turning out great, but I am not a fan of outside and inside spaces being overcome with tools, wood pieces, and sawdust. 

I am definitely nesting, but not all that much more than my normal OCD self...cleaning, hanging pictures and curtains! (finally), organizing, and cleaning our carpets. 

Hazel has loved playing with her new baby doll, reading a dozen new books, helping Brice "make noise" outside ( which translates to using the power drill), Skyping with grandmas & grandpas and helping me cook in the kitchen. 

We feel so blessed and so grateful for the wonderful things that happened in 2014- and we can't wat to see what the new year brings!

HAPPY 2015!!
