Today is Christmas.  I remembered to take a family photo this morning and another with the kids and lola. 

The kids got all the presents on their wish list and then some.  Dan and I cooked 24 pounds of prime rib, Texas hash, green bean casserole, stuffed mushrooms, bacon wrapped stuffing and rice.  The food was a hit....as usual!

Today is my 41st birthday. I spent the morning at my mom's house since it was bath day. She didn't remember it was my birthday. I was able to head home before 1pm which is awesome. It means more time with thr family. Dan bought me a seafood feast for dinner and I enjoyed every bit of it. Now I'm relaxing on the couch digesting my meals and doing nothing.  

Maybe next year we will celebrate more.  This year's low key plan nothing and do nothing birthday was just fine.

This week was a bit of a cluster. It went by fast.  Work was super busy and home life was also super busy. 

The highlight of the week was today. Spending time with my girl on Friday and Saturday nights are what I look forward to each week I have lola duty. 

Today, Hannah tried balut for the first time. Surprisingly she liked it.  Her lola and her shared her first balut.  It was nice to see them both happy while sharing this experience.

At the top of this rock wall is Hannah.  She kept at this wall for about 15 minutes and made it to the top. This was the first time she ever did this. 

She was upset she didn't make totally to the top but this was still a pretty huge accomplishment for her. She went at it again to try to make it to the very very top. She worked at for almost 30 minutes before being that high scared her.  

Shes really hard on herself when she sets her mind to accomplishing something and falls short.  

I wish she can find it in herself to be proud of her accomplishments even though she falls short of her goal.  It's always good to celebrate your wins no matter the journey.
