I’m still recovering from a festive and cozy Thanksgiving holiday. How about you? Everett woke up yesterday asking if he could stay in his new elf jammies (see photo towards the bottom) to go to school. Sorry buddy, we all have to get back into the routine!

[love these cookies from Brookies]
[I feel the same way about mashed potatoes bud]

[yes, that is me in the background]

[walking off some of those calories][making a plan]
[Toodles is back]
[the boys are obsessed with their Polar Express train]
[obsessed with my new mug]
[lots of pajama time over the long weekend][my favorite view]

[gotta love our Hanna Andersson jammies]
