This was our second attempt at picking strawberries. The first was a bust because all the strawberries were picked out for a few days. But it wasn't really a bust because we got to hang out with our best friends for a few hours. I went later in the week with the 3 youngest and Holly and we picked strawberries and raspberries. So yummy!
Strawberry picking was the first family activity we did with Enoch when he came to live with us so it feels extra special.

Easter 2025
Aw, Christmas. We had an extra lovely one that was so low-key. I spent a lot of the 24th cooking and preparing food. In the evening, we walked to the neighborhood park to sing Christmas carols with our friends. Then we returned home for French Onion Soup and salad. The kids opened up matching pajamas. They didn't really need pajamas but I'm in a point of crises where I'm not sure how much longer everyone will mind matching. I should've bought loose pajama pants for the teens though because they haven't worn them since. We got everyone to bed at a semi-reasonable time including Conor and I. Sweet, sweet memories.
Well, going with the goal of being present over Christmas, I took next to no photos on Christmas Day! Just a few snaps in the morning and one of Christmas dinner in the evening. It was a busy and full day. Lots more food and games. We hosted Christmas Dinner with grandparents and good friends. At the end of the day, I was exhausted! The children had a great day and they're really enjoying their new toys. This holiday season was 100% exhausting, but I'm not sure that I'd change anything!
