Hello! I’m back! I love my social media family, and missed you all dearly, but like many others, I’ve been away from the blogging world for the past 2 weeks. I’ve been prepping for the holidays and mostly spending in-person time with family and friends. I’ll get back into blogging today with a just a small fraction of pics from what’s been happening:

Present wrapping and receiving:

One of my favorite gifts. Bracelets that also serve as hair ties!

Irresistibly sexy tease earrings? Thankfully I didn’t give or receive these, but these were on my wrapping agenda.

Sibling bonding:

Little bro and me before a full-stomach-run!

Baking the famous family lard cookies with my sister!

All 4 Ordway kids in annual matching Christmas pajamas, explained below! Sound of Music on TV!

Running:

Ran with my speedy family

Layer upon layer upon layer of Oiselle for the cold, snowy runs!

Family bonding:

Every year, my mom buys matching pajamas for the whole family. They are always different, always slightly ridiculous and we always love it! This year we had a penguin theme. It’s a cherished family tradition that we all love and appreciate!

Whole family in matching PJs! Even the kids are in blue and pink penguins! SO.MUCH.FUN!

Me, Currie and Jeff frosting cookies!

There’s the little snippet of what I’ve been up to! Now we are back in Rochester, living it up with well over a foot of snow. Time for my first abundance-of-snow-run of the season!
