Today I baked cookies, folded some laundry, and back-blogged a LOT. I have plans still to bike, do more laundry, tidy the house before Christmas Eve, and if possible do some gift deliveries and errands, but it is 6:11 pm so I will have to hustle. If I get some pictures at some point, I will throw them on this post. But as of this sentence, I am caught up on the blog. Hallelujah!!!

**added later** We drove to Salt Lake to drop something off to our friends, the Sonntags, and also Abe’s parents. I also stopped into Whole Foods before we all drove to see this house in the Avenues:

The kids were delighted. Lydia said, “It looks a little cramped, but in a good way.” Tom and Suzanne know the owners, and I guess they have to start putting these up in September to get them all up in time!
