chicks in the N E S T

Merry Christmas!

Christmas was different for us this year. At least, for me it has been different. Having experienced a lot of "new" this last four months with a kid in college {across the ocean}, I have a new perspective on things.

Far from having an empty nest, we still have reached a new stage in life.

It's nice to have all of our chicks back in the nest if only for just a couple of weeks. We have enjoyed every minute of our time together. Movies. Sleeping in. Naps. Food.

Nothing spectacular, just being in the nest together.
This mama hen is happy.

I've loved it.
We have all loved it.
Caden can't keep his hands off of Justin.

For today, it is more movies and more relaxing. More food, too. The down time is pretty much what we have all needed. I won't be taking it for granted.

Merry Christmas!
