Here Comes a Cold Stretch!

I finally got Esme to try on her athleisure outfit she got for Christmas.  She said it was uncomfortable without even putting it on, not it's a fave. Another top thing that 2024 brings is professional sports license plates!  The van eas due for renewal in December so I put it off until January 1 when these were available to order.  The trax was good until May, but I pulled the trigger on new one for that too.  They must have assigned numbers in the order people requested them because ours are sequential now!
The colors really pop!
Esme has been really enjoying her new Bible.  Here is a little clip of her reading from it.
We've been going crazy for Uno lately, playing non-stop.  I couldn't help but take a picture of this situation we found ourselves in.  Esme said "I've got so many choices, I think I'm going to win!"  She actually did make a good comeback and nearly beat me.

I heard a crash from the kitchen and Jimmy showed the damage.  This is one of two mugs we purchased in the Amsterdam airport on our way home from Italy in 2011.  Way back then, Jimmy apologized in advance for breaking then someday.  Well, nearly 13 years later it finally happened.  As my aunt said, it's now my favorite pencil holder.  I think I will do just that and bring it to my desk at work.
To escape some of the cold that is finally bearing down on us, we took a trip to IKEA.  This was actually Esme's idea.  She asked last week to go to "the store with all the rooms." After some additional questions, I figured it out.  Both her and Parker love visiting here.  We can easily burn 2 hours and grab lunch.  We tried the main cafeteria, but they might be a bit too picky for those offerings.  I always forget about the cafe after checkouts that has hotdogs and pizza.  I think we'll give that a shot next time.
Parker really loved this chari and managed to find it in a couple spots.
This boomerang shot turned out just about perfect. I need to find an adult size one of these.
This is an example of how cold it outside, haha!
