We have been prepping for the long holiday and getting overly excited for family faces! The weekend before last, we went to philly for a visit with Auntie Hayles and Seattle Tara. The philly Christmas town was in full swing even with the strangely warm temperatures. There was music, mulled wine and Indian food. The work week included two holiday parties (and interesting sweets) and not much work while the boys enjoyed a trip to the science center. The Treehouser flew out to Seattle for a one day shoot for the show that went late into the early morning. He was so pooped, he slept all the way home. This weekend I finished up some crafts while the boys went to the library for a touch of Star Wars fun and we had a surprise visit from Santa right outside our house!!! Sunday, we all went for a walk at Dukes farm and then I concluded the weekend with a trip back to philly to catch up with my girls before the holiday ramps up.
