Finishing up the Year

2013 is almost gone. To be honest, I'm not too sad to see it go...it was a decent year, as years go, but I'm always excited to see what the future will bring.

While it's still here, though, here's what we've been doing this week:

Putting away Christmas: Sophie got a little tired during the whole process and decided to take a short nap on the Christmas totes. I'm so happy to have the house back to normal. It looks so clean! Although it may be a few months before I convince Jack to take the vinyl nativity off his window. I may just sneak one off every day or so...

Putting up a paper towel holder.

I have spent two-and-a-half years trying to decide where this thing should go...and finally, I know where I want it. So I told Doug to install it, and he kindly did so. Very happy that it has a place to live now. Having it fall into the sink at least once a week was getting a little annoying.

Now that you're caught up with our minor doings, hope you all have a safe and fun New Year's Eve!
