I have so very much enjoyed the beginning of this break. I think because mostly, it is a break. I am so very grateful for two full weeks off as a family. It's been three years since we've had this at Christmas. The last three years we hosted Christmas at our house, but this year, we are going to my sister's house. So, I'm actually enjoying life and feeling as relaxed as I ever allow myself to feel.
Last evening we traveled to see some Christmas lights in a park south of here, then we stopped at Taco Bell on the way home. I totally understand how not exciting that sounds, but honestly, we had a tremendously fun evening. Today we've really just hung out, and this afternoon/evening my husband has done some baking for tomorrow's first Christmas at my grandmother's. I love all of the various conversations I've heard throughout the day (minus the squabbling of which I've heard plenty) and I just can't help but feel tremendously blessed right now!
