Very impressed with the Ikea food tray cart

Mary taking a reading break in the container store.  Managed to scare a few customers.

Finn trying out some chairs

Finn loved all the Christmas lights, and figured out a way to escape bedtime.

My first ever chicken and waffles was amazeballs.

Finley loved the arcade at Great Wolf Lodge.  

Made all the more spectacular because she went in her pajamas.

It's unclear at this point exactly how many children I have.

 

Back home and Finley helps decorate the tree with an electric whisk attachment and a few other within-reach utensils.

Hours of entertainment with festive window decals.

Excited about her new now-I-can-reach-the-sink stepstool

Lots of park fun in these perfect weather months
