1. Holiday Train- included the usual can't find a parking space, going up the river road where you can't turn around in forever, fretting over missing the train, trying to walk around the damn thing, and then joining the crowd in the freezing cold for some rocking songs and a dancing Santa. Link said little in the cold, but talked about Santa on the train the whole way home. Of course he was all smiles until the camera came out. Then he just looked mad.
2. Sadie came back for a week and invited me to a winter solstice party with her. It was a great time for meditation and letting go. It also had a hot citrus drink, which was perfect since I had been craving Russian tea all week.
3. We had a Paducah Christmas this year. We stayed with Ken, Laura, and Landon which was great as Link had a blast playing with Landon and all his toys. It was also nice to get some quality time with Laura. We gave books as Christmas gifts. We got way too many great gifts.
4. On the way back from Paducah we stopped in Metropolis, IL, which is just like 5-10 miles north. We took a picture with Superman and visited all the brightly primary color painted things in the town.
5. Due to so many holidays around the weekends I had very short work weeks. Sometimes only one day at the office.
6. We had an electrician come and do some rewiring in the bathroom so we are steps closer to getting the downstairs bathroom done.
8. Celebrated New Years at Dani and Todd's. I feel asleep while putting Link down after the new year and woke up the next morning to a big breakfast by Dani.
9. We are being considered for housing grant of around $40,000. Only six homes in Elkader will get chosen. Our fingers are crossed.
10. Cleaned the bath tubs.
