These days…

We’re relaxing and enjoying having the hubby home from work (even though he’s sneaking some in here and there) and spending time together. We’ve been:

I hope you’re having a wonderful, restful week between now and New Year’s. I’m looking forward to the fresh start that the New Year always brings, but not looking forward to taking down the Christmas decorations…

Uh-oh I think that elmo came from someone else! We sent Quirkle and a trio set :)
Looks like you guys are having a fun week! :)
