And just like that, we are at the end of my favorite week of the year. The hustle and bustle of Christmas preparation are over, and we can relax and enjoy the lights on the tree, the soft music in the background, and the leftover cookies. Flynn and I spent our days reading new books, watching old shows, and wearing new socks and pajamas. We did venture out to go to my sister's house for our annual pizza and wing party, which we look forward to every year. On our way, we were treated to this amazing sight...
Wonderful memories with my people! And back home, the pups got all fresh and clean to ring in the new year.
Happy New Year, my friends. Thank you for sharing your lives with me here. May your new year be happy, healthy, and filled with the things that give you peace and joy! See you Monday!
