Five years old! Can you believe it? (And wearing a tie to his own birthday party because he’s a snappy dresser.)
We had a big ice storm right after Christmas that took out our power for about 24 hours. It was cold, and it was a bit of a hassle, but thankfully we didn’t have much to do anyways besides sit bundled up in front of our fireplace (which, ps, is definitely more for ambiance than heat production, so thank goodness we don’t usually rely on it for that!) and play with our Christmas gifts.

While the power was out, Pippo was convinced that he could do his Legos by candlelight (aka, the light of one candle), and then conceded that perhaps his little camping lantern would be helpful as well.
In case you were wondering, it was still much too dark to do Legos. But you can’t say they didn’t try.
And this little munchkin got herself stuck behind the Christmas tree while her big siblings were playing outside. But they were right outside that window, so she happily stood there wedged between the tree and the windowsill, watching them play and wishing she were big, too. (Poor baby!)

Cupcakes in the laundry room? This is the sort of thing that happens when you regularly run out of horizontal surfaces in your house. (Especially when your sideboard has been pressed into Nativity-display duty.) My washer and dryer have been pulling double duty lately as Baking Project and Lego staging areas, which leads to quite the shuffling game when it comes time to, you know, actually wash clothes.
PSA: these were Joy the Baker’s dulce de leche cupcakes, chosen for their ability to pass as “Gold” cake for our Epiphany dinner, and they were dee-licious.
