Life has felt so rushed lately. I’ve had some mild anxiety because I feel like I don’t have enough time for anything. It sounds silly but it’s true.
It was an incredibly busy holiday for us. What is strange is that the holiday went by so quickly that I wasn’t able to do a lot of the things I wanted to. I planned on decorating cookies with the little one and sipping hot chocolate while we read Christmas books. I didn’t realize until it was pretty late that we didn’t even have any Christmas books. By the time I got them it was rush time.
We visited a ton of lights and holiday themed exhibits.
… And we made time for a few fun playground trips.
We found some new places to visit that we plan on making family tradition.
We visited the snow and Arabella went sledding for the first time. We even made some special snowmen.
Christmas Eve we went to church. For the first time we were paged to the Sunday school room. Arabella had hit her head on a corner and it had left a mark. There was a little swelling but she seemed okay. When we walked in she was drinking water and eating Cheerios. They said she didn’t even cry. She’s a tough girl.

On our way back from church we decided to celebrate Christmas early because we made a last minute decision to take a trip…
I didn’t really get many photos. I felt pretty guilty that I didn’t really have any photos of her. I was helping her open her gifts and it was pretty rushed 🙁 but we were in for a long road trip when we were finished. We ate dinner, opened gifts, cleaned up the wrapping paper, showered, and then headed on our journey….
