Holiday Down Time at the Homestead

Time flies when you're having fun, right? Well, that's exactly what we're hoping to avoid as we enjoy some much needed time off from all of the hustle and bustle of busy family life. With several days home from school and work, we're all just playing around with our electronics & board games, constructing Lego sets, eating goodies out of our stockings, catching up on reading... the list goes on and on and on.

Meanwhile, here's a video capturing yet another fun family moment:

Recipe for a Happy Marriage

This has been sitting on my desk ever since Hubs and I received it in the mail last month. We've already surpassed 17 years of wedded blissfulness, but adding another prayer to the mix couldn't possibly hurt - especially if it's a Tried-and-True one. 49 years? Really?? Amazing.

Anyway, trick-or-treating was still a go and it was all good, thanks to hubs who bravely weathered the cool outdoor temps and took the Peeps around the neighborhood:
