Here are some of the things we’ve been celebrating lately.

New phones! Now I can actually answer phone calls again when people call me. The old screen broke when I dropped the phone while visiting someone from church. I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

Warm weather. We’ve been soaking up as much of it as we can while it lasts.

The hearty breakfast that awaited me post run.

My birthday. I had a pretty good birthday that included a nice run, delicious food, and the news that my kids are going to have a cousin!

Family visiting for Thanksgiving. (We did a recap of our delicious meal on the Dirty Dish Club.) It’s hard to say who loved it more, my parents or my kids.

The official start of the Christmas season. I’m a firm believer in not celebrating Christmas until Thanksgiving has received its due attention, but once that has happened I love Christmas season as much as the next person (in spite of my opinions on the “big man”). We kicked off the season by checking out some of the Olde Golden Christmas activities.

We hope you’ve had some reasons to celebrate lately too.
