A Week In The Life, Vol 52.
52 weeks into 2023! This is what it looked like.
Christmas magic all around!
At the start of the week I made charcuterie boxes for the teachers at school! I love doing this and surprising them with it one day.
It was also the kids’ christmas concert!
Sadly, Max missed out because he was still fighting the sickness he had last week. It was such a bummer.
We did finally get some snow!
And I helped with Emilia’s christmas party at school which was PJ day.
The next day or two, Eddie and Max coninued to feel under the weather so Emilia and I baked a lot of cookies.
The best!
Don’t worry, my car just became my holiday jewelry box for the week. So many activities.
The kids helped my mom finish up her christmas village.
And the tree!
And finally Max was on the mend!
I cannot with these three.
We decided to take Jordan on the train at the mall.
He loved it!
Pizza christmas forever.
P.S. this is what bedtime looks like most nights.
My first peppermint mocha in years.
Really going to miss the holiday attire in January!
We headed to Max’s hockey game.
Love watching him!
Biggest fan.
Baby Lucy came to her first game too!
Cutest.
Christmas Eve Eve!
Our advent spiral is still something we love.
Spent some time with baby cousin Mary.
And then Christmas Eve came!
Probably my favorite night of the whole year.
Happiest boy. I cut his hair again!
Made some lobster mac.
And then fun times with cousins!
Baby Sebastian is just edible.
Came home to throw oats for the reindeer!
And set out cookies that Jordy just wanted to eat.
Then woke up at the crack of dawn.
Listening to Santa’s letter!
And opening all the gifts.
I made the croissant breakfast bake.
And creme brûlée french toast!
AND fresh orange juice.
Max has been reading nonstop. He also got a kindle to read on the go!
Christmas day festivities!
It was 60 degrees and bright and sunny!! Hence the squints.
This baby opening gifts was the highlight.
He was so excited!!
Aperol spritz on christmas night.
Merry merry!
And cuddling baby Lucy.
The most adorable!!
Max’s favorite person on earth is my brother.
And today has been a nonstop PJ day! Happy holidays!

Happy Holidays. Great pictures of your beautiful family. Thanks for sharing as it brings back memories of my three littles (now adults) and the excitement that was Christmas. I want Jordan’s pizza tree shirt in an adult size! LOL.Â

Where did you buy the cheeses and crackers for the charcuterie boxes?
i always do a mix of crackers from trader joe’s and my local grocery store – i also did a box of gluten free crackers! for the cheeses, my favorites are the double gloucester with chives from trader joes, all the sartori/bellavitano cheeses (montemore, merlot soaked cheddar, etc) – i find that people usually love these! actually all the cheeses i write about in this post are what i still use! https://www.howsweeteats.com/2021/05/best-cheese-board-cheese/
As always Emilia has the best outfits. Can’t get over how much Jordan is growing, and Max looked so adorable in his Christmas outfit. Glad he was feeling better by Christmas. Love your moms tree. It could be in hallmark movie for sure.Â
What a fun week! Can you please share where your tartan plaid jacket is from? I love it, it’s so festive! Happy New Year :)

love this! I love seeing all the cute outfits and how the kids grow. Happy 2024!
Love following you and your family . Was wondering if you let me know what Kindle you got for Max. I’m thinking of getting one for my 8 year old grandson. Thank you
i just got the kids kindle! it’s technically the same as the regular paperwhite, but it doesn’t have ads and has some built in parental controls!! https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Paperwhite-Kids-thousands-worry-free/dp/B0BLB7Y8K9/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2BIG08OH0EQ1U&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.p700ixKLPzKVkU90jS-jrgIyYK-0wyK7Pc7t2rhHYs58qjlc-CyLyiis_VgpSx3hmJX2pd01lI_q8zrwbhuX8g.bSXjXTtdlOBzVry9dxVcSStLQYyDNh9qkGit8BoEnnU&dib_tag=se&keywords=kids+kindle&qid=1704905702&sprefix=kids+kindle%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-1
