1. A successful gift giving morning.
This year Santa is only going to be arriving on Christmas. For the past few years the boys have had him at both houses but now with SBJ and the craziness of everything I decided to just have him arrive on Christmas morning. We bought the boys gifts and had them open them on Saturday morning. It was a fabulous day. Owen worked with his Pokemon book ALL. DAY. LONG. Around noon my parents showed up and we grilled hamburgers. At 130 or so Aunt Sue arrived for the weekend. Sunday morning I took the boys to Chicago and now the house is extremely quiet. Extremely. It was a long weekend but great to spend time with each other.

| Clearly Rouzer needed more coffee, more sleep, or some Christmas cheer. |

| When he got dressed and looked around the corner all I could see was my dad. This picture does not do it justice but with his v-neck sweater he nailed the look. |

| SBJ was somewhat of a mess this weekend. He was still feeling under the weather and he is getting his 9th tooth. He wanted me to hold him all morning. Eventually I put my carrier on and he was happy. ....Well at least not crying. |
My first box came on Saturday night. I only kept 2 items and they were more than I would like to spend BUT it was super easy. I scheduled my next box to arrive in a few weeks and I am looking forward to getting a few new things for my wardrobe.
3. Homemade sausage
My parents have made sausage around the holidays since forever. It is a memory that I have grown up with and look forward to every year. For years now I have wanted to learn and make sure I know how to make this dish. Finally -- this year -- I actually made the sausage. It isn't perfect, or anywhere close to perfect, BUT I am super glad that I have one batch under my belt.
4. A 3 day work week
Does this need any more explanation? Looking forward to 3 days on, 4 days off for the next two weeks.
5. My cold is getting a little bit better
Ugh...tired of being sick. BUT I found a gross medicine to take and now my cold is getting better. Slowly but at least it is getting better.
