Today was all about extended family as our various family members prepared to depart for home. We went to breakfast with my parents and brother, where the boys enjoyed giant chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and chocolate sauce, then we did a little Christmas shopping and napped before our night out at the zoo. (More on that tomorrow! But have you entered to win 4 tickets yet? It’s not too late!)
ZooLights was fun, but cold and rainy so we were happy to warm up at dinner with the other side of the family to celebrate a birthday.
And now tomorrow we go back to the crazy grind of commuting and dropping kids off and picking them up and packing school lunches and buying more groceries, but tonight I’m going to enjoy a Christmas movie and try not to think about any of that.
I should have done a little more enjoying yesterday– instead of tackling my neglected to-do list as if everything HAD to be done.
