picture this.

just a few pictures.

one by one. because i love each photo that much.

saying goodbye to family was hard.

what a lovely week i spent with them.

there you have it.

hugging my parents goodbye, squeezing every second i can in with crew

and "my favorite brother" bret eating his delicious carrot cake that i am still craving.

as my mom would say....

"it's back to the grind."

and she is more than right.

nutcracker rehearsals are beginning, school, homework and

cooking/eating healthy. {which is hard work}.
