There’s so much joy in these weeks. My dad’s visit, Eric’s birthday, and some holiday magic. It’s so much fun reliving it all. Also, I am in love with these Christmas papers and have been waiting patiently for months to use them!
It’s no exaggeration to say that my dad’s visit was the highlight of this week. We had so much fun relaxing and catching up, and, of course, drinking coffee!
Eric and I also made the trek out to 99 Ranch, and he was ecstatic to find mangosteens there. He totally did a happy dance, I am not even kidding!
The next week brought Eric’s birthday and lots and lots of chocolate. And also, one incredibly fancy steak dinner.
I am so glad I took this picture of his birthday breakfast. We love Sunday mornings with the paper, but this one was extra special.
I’m almost caught up to Christmas, and I am so excited about the sequin explosion that will be found there. How are your documenting projects going? Have you beat me into 2013? I bet so!

That was a really great weekend. I enjoyed all the things we did and I definitely think we should do it again.
I agree!
What a great project, and such a lovely record to keep for the future.
I made Turlu Turlu one evening last week, from the recipe you posted. We all loved it, definitely a new family favourite!
Oh, I am so glad to hear that you liked it! Hope you have many more happy family evenings this spring
