Last Week

This last week of 2010 has flown by — and it’s really going out with a bang.  I had thought that I would be back to regular blogging this week, but with preparing for Christmas, Christmas, my family visit, and late nights working on my New Year’s resolution (to be discussed Sunday)…I didn’t have much time or energy from blogging (or mailing out my Christmas cards…those will be arriving in the mail next week).  So, what did I do?

I sewed an adorable Christmas dressfor our little elf.And watched her tear into a pile of presents taller than she is.(Yes, despite our best efforts, Miss Nora got 11 presents.)

I ate a massive New England Christmas dinnerwith some really great company.

Encouraged Nora to get to know her grandma

Discovered what an attentive uncle my little brother Sergei is.

Walked around townand met some new doggies.

Took my family to the whaling museum.Where we had fun looking at the Festival of Trees Christmas trees…especially the Wee Woofin’ Whalers tree.(Of course Nora would find the one thing covered in pictures of dogs.)

And laughed at Dad’s determination to get good pictures…despite the 50 mile per hour wind and freezing temperatures.

I visited a lighthouse…to take lots and lots of pictures.

And spent tons of time with Chris who had THREE days off in a row,most of which were spent cooking or cleaning without complaint.Our Dada rocks.

And just generally had a busy, family- and fun-filled week (with a little work squeezed in on the side).  It was a great time, but it was exhausting too,and we’re looking forward to getting back to our regular routine next week…in 2011!

      Yes, she does. It’s changed a bit, though…now it sounds a lot like Dada.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️
