Happy New Year! I rang in 2016 with my mom visiting. We had a celebratory poetry tea time, complete with sparkling cider. She arrived Tuesday and I dropped her off this afternoon. We were ready to rewind time and get to do it all over again.

We went out on special girls trip to the library with Ellie. We went to the Doseum and stayed in and played and read books. My mom took the kids in the morning, so I could sleep in. I didn't take near enough pictures.
