Part I
Family gathering at our house, tons of food, family, cousins, aunts and uncles, grandmas. Kids played and ate, everyone had fun. House is clean and festive. Hooray!
Part II
Grandma babysits! Happy (early) birthday to me! Wandered around browsing little shops, did a little toy store shopping, checked out a new library, walked in the snow. Talked without distraction! Eventually dinner in a new place with candles, STRONG margaritas and beef tenderloin (grown up food, yeah!). So great. Thanks mom!
