For just about the first time of this break, things feel calm. Andrew just left to take him mom home. Leading up to Christmas, I had things to get ready, including three trips related to getting my mom's house ready. The day after Christmas, we were back up in that area to visit family in honor of my cousin Natalie's wedding, and Saturday we were gone all day for another wedding. That will be another post, but suffice it to say, it's been tiring. Yesterday, Andrew didn't feel well so we didn't go to church, which delightfully meant we had no where to go all day. A frozen lasagna fed us dinner, and that was that.
My MIL told me that she really enjoyed being here, but I'm not certain how that could be the case. Other than seeing some lights Tuesday (that were absolutely lovely), it feels like all we did was run here or there, and when it was finally time to be home, I needed to get school and church things completed. But, I'm grateful that we did have the time we had. We watched some TV shows, we visited the lights, we had an incredibly lovely Christmas Eve with the kids here and playing games, and an equally lovely Christmas morning. We had a fairly nice afternoon at my mom's house, and there really were so many lovely things about this past week. At the same time, I'm not sad that the house is quiet, and I'm not sad that I still have a week until I go back to work!!
