hello new year.

apparently, time has gotten the best of me.

here are the past two weeks in a nutshell:

four christmas get togethers...

two grandma crying sessions...

one sister leaving the country...

six siblings together for the last time in the near future...

one thousand chai lattes...

twenty-two hours in the car...

eight o'clock bedtimes...

five days without stever...
one very worn out mama...

i am pretty exhausted these days in general, but these two weeks have completely drained me of any and all energy that i might have had saved up...

ug.

hopefully the next 3 months will be slow and steady.

here are some random pictures from the holidays
