This past week totally KICKED.MY.BUTT! I am literally exhausted and am looking forward to hopefully vegging a bit this week. I thought it might be fun to do a collage of my week in photos.To sum up the photos, I took my oldest daughter to NYC for her birthday. We visited Rockefeller Center, Time Square and Build-a-Bear Workshop. Our Elf on the Shelf, Shelvin, got caught in the act doing mischief. We finally hung our TV and ran the wires behind the wall and got an entertainment console for all of the electronics (you do NOT want to know how we had it all set up before!). Managed to clean the living room and apparently the dog enjoyed it for a few minutes before the kids trashed it again. Finally set up the kitchen for my daughter’s actual birthday (which is today, December 18) so that she would feel special when she woke up. That’s a tradition we do for everyone’s birthday. Then we topped the day off with a birthday cake surrounded by some friends. :)
Not shown in these pictures are the 100 gifts that my husband and I wrapped for our Sunday School Staff at church! Oy!
Anyhow, it’s time for you guys to party and for me to relax (yeah right! I still have cupcakes to make and laundry to do) so LINK UP! I’m too tired for rules. Anything goes with this shin dig today!
