Say Thank You Sunday

We had an Instagram-rific day over here. It started out chore-filled and totally mundane. I can't quite figure out why it feels almost as good to take Christmas decorations down as it does to put them up. I guess it just makes things feel fresh. A fresh start. Appropriate for a new year.

After nap, we sat down to eat lunch together and then loaded the diaper bag for a family date. The Austin Children's Museum is free on Sunday evenings and Eddy felt like a total big kid. Next, we meandered through town and climbed Mt. Bonnell, watched the awesome holiday light display coordinated to music at Mozart's by the lake and ended by hopping next door to have dinner at Hula Hut. There wasn't a dull moment.

My heart is smiling.


This week, we are thankful for:

rum cake and egg nog (so noggy!)
Lucy the foot warmer
warm, fuzzy slippers
inspiring young people
#26acts
werewolf hat, y'all
time with our old friend Sadie
a hardworking husband
a phone call from an old friend
the exploration of new toys

hilly hilly and chilly, family photo on mt. bonnell, wannabe gamer, watching the lights, wereboy sighting, playing like a big boy, exploring with caution, dreaming big, young people spreading good

 It's New Year's Eve Eve. I'm still working on a resolution worth writing down and sticking to. I'll sleep on it.
