Oh Chicago, how I enjoy your winters. I love walking down the street when the wind greets me by ripping my face off. I especially love the new look you give my car by generously dusting it with salt. I couldn't wish for a better place to spend this lovely season.
But seriously, I've been really enjoying my winter break. It started with all the Christmas hustle and bustle! We enjoyed an awesome Christmas eve service at Harvest Bible Chaple Palos and then back to my house for soups and gift exchanging. That same night, Jordan and I drove up to Wisconsin to spend Christmas with the Hueninks. The first half of the week was spent eating lots of good food and time with family and then from there we dove farther north to Silver Birch for New Years. We had good weather on Wednesday, but unfortunalty the weather got really warm and the snow started to turn into slush. Our cross country skiing plans did not turn out the way we wanted them to. Early New Years day we drove back to Chicago to make tamales with my family, the way we do every year. They turned out delicious!
So back to normal, I'm taking down the Christmas tree tomorrow... :( But as usual life starts to pick up speed. I have some designing on my plate this week. Some ads for a client, stuff that Harvest wants me to work on, some of my own, and probably more stuff from an author I work with. Busy Busy Busy. As long as it keeps me out of the cold :)
It's great to have you home this month. Stop by my kitchen and enjoy un cafecito con tu mama.
