The Christmas cards are done, whew, what a job. So check your mailboxes. Got the kids to help on the final touches, they do my least favorite part and lick all the envelopes. That’s why we have them, right? To do the jobs we don’t like? Carlos loved it, any excuse to stick his tongue out and not get in trouble for it.

We are suffering the after shocks of yesterday’s super packed fun day. Gotta love that, but we knew it was going to happen. Lots of meltdowns and drama but early bedtime tonight will help. It’s family dinner with Mary and Alice and Dee’s making her signature dish of Chicken Alfredo. I can’t wait, it’s the first dinner that Dee ever cooked for me, almost 8 years ago if you can believe that one.
