Days filled with family, friends and cousins playing. We welcomed a large gathering {23!} from far and near for our T-day feast. Lots to be thankful for this time of year.

Mother’s Day Momentos
My sweet tokens of affection for Mother’s Day. I felt very special and well celebrated.
Carson created this mixed media piece at school using watercolors, pencil and ink pad {his fingerprints!}. Promptly framed and hung.
Hadley’s letter to me, dictated by her teachers {referring to the bootie shaking, by We she means her}.
May Day Deliveries
We set the alarm extra early in order to drop off our May Day treats {via wagon} on our neighbors’ doorsteps before they came out.
Kids measured and filled the jars the night before with colorful beans.

Super sneaky and fast – we finished our entire block and were at the coffeehouse before 7am.
Happy New Year!
Among the many reasons I couldn’t wait to be back in our home was to host friends once again. We gathered a handful of families for a festive NYE celebration. The theme was post-apocalyptic Mayan featuring ceviche, plenty of guacamole and salsas, quesadillas and the most fabulous pasole on the planet {thanks Toby!}. On tap: palomas, fresh sangria and the drink of the gods. Everyone brought something to the table which was good because we still had lots of unpacking to do!
Fireworks!
A few kids crashed, but most were still standing when the clock struck twelve:
Including our little night owl {bottoms up Hads}. Here’s to a fun, healthy and happy 2013!
