happy new year's everyone!  i can't believe how fast the holiday season went by. we had a great christmas with family and i hope yours was awesome as well!  i'm going through a bit of the melancholy post holiday blues the last day or so...lol.  the hubs is back at work today and boy do we miss him. i am seriously going through hubby withdrawl.

all curled up with their quilts

i'm sad all the late nights and family time is done.  we spent a lot of time just hanging out and enjoying each others company.  there was a lot of coffee drinking, treat eating, game playing, family visiting, snuggles, knitting, playdoh making, coloring & lots of fun!  we also started doing a very early spring clean.  clothes were sorted, toys were cleaned out to make room for new ones, boxes were packed and the christmas tree was taken down :( 


on the weekend we moved our baby girl into a big girl bed.  she's now in a bunk bed with her big sissie.  the transition has been good and the one taking it the hardest has been me.  i admit, i cried.  the sight of that empty baby crib and knowing that i will never have a wee babe fill it again still brings me to tears but on the upside it's been awesome having our bedroom back to ourselves again and harper has sure loved being in her very own big girl bed. 
 

all in all i'm exhausted but it's a good exhausted...lol.  having fun can be tiring :P i'll be getting back into the swing of things around here this week but today i'm taking it slow and easy with my two cutie pies while i miss my hubs.  there will also be some knitting for a prize winner...that's right...the winner of the luvinthemommyhood thank you giveaway is.....
