Hey friends! I wanted to write a quick diary entry, which, let's be real, is mostly an excuse for me to show off my new winter layout LOL. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I'm super in the spirit this year, so I wanted to make things festive––at least for the month of December! Come January all the decorations will be removed for something more Wintery Blue(tm). People's seasonal setups for the different holidays are always adorable, so here's just that!
My brother, SIL, and nephew flew in on Thanksgiving day and have been spending time with us. Their presence has been like a warm embrace within the household. It's too cute watching my nephew running around the place, wide-eyed and fascinated with EVERYTHING. Yesterday we played this game where we lined up his plushies (and mine lmao) on my desk chair, which he would then spin around. Each time they peek-a-booed he would giggle, his cheeks scrunching up. On Thanksgiving, we ran around "fighting" each other with foam swords. After dinner another night, he cheered "Yay, Mama!" as well as whoever and whatever else he could think of all the way home. Sooooo sweeeeet!! 
I might write a longer roundup after they leave, or just keep it to myself. I want to journal more about daily activities for the sake of preserving the memory, but that's neither here nor there at the moment.
Last night I came up with the idea of doing a different Christmas-y activity per day. Big and small things are both allowed. I'll come back with a list later!
Andddd apologies again for yet another abrupt ending, but that's all for now. Take care everyone, wishing you all joy wherever you are!!
