Happy belated new year! For the past two Sundays, I felt great. No stress. No worries. No alarm clock. As I'm typing this at 9:00 tonight, all that is back. Tomorrow, life goes back to normal with waking up at 6:30 and working again. That two week break was awesome...
These rascals thought it was awesome too!
After a very, very slow New Year's start, we ventured off to the mall... just because. Lucas found a baby Target shopping cart at our (my) favorite store and actually asked me to take a picture of him shopping.
CHEEEEESEEEEE
He tried to get his sister to take a picture with him too, but Char was not into it. A few seconds later, homeboy was more interested in Char's cart than picture taking.
"Whoa, what's in there Char?"
A hearty meal at the food court
And that was all I remembered doing on the first day of 2015! Did I make it to midnight? Nope, not a chance. I was already snoozing my life away by 10 or so.
On January 2, we celebrated our five year anniversary! I remember walking around Napa (pregnant with Lu) on our one year anniversary. We were kidless, which meant we had all the freedom in the world. As we walked past French Laundry, we were talking about going there on our five year anniversary. Yup, didn't happen. But that's okay. I'm actually more excited about a birthday/Christmas/anniversary/Valentine's gift that should be coming next week!

After our family celebration, we dropped the kids off at the grandparent's house and had our own celebration.
Not too happy about this... j/k
Guess where?
Gary Danko's! Fine dining at its best!
On January 3, we had sushi making night. Most of my dinners (except Thanksgiving and Christmas) take around 30 minutes to make. When you're a working mom, have to tend to two kids, and come home around 5, you HAVE to be able to make these 30 minute meals or else things would not be good. This sushi dinner took close to two hours. Good thing I was on vacation, or it would've been a bad night for me!

And now, it's January 4. I prepped enough to get by tomorrow. Good luck tomorrow to everyone going back to work!
Good luck back at work, I feel you about loving the break. Looks like you made good use of your time off!
