odds and ends of the past week

i was not too happy about this little prank benji pulled several days ago:


after 5 years of owning a king-sized bed, we now finally have a king-sized bed set! it's a little fun stepping up into bed rather than down onto a mattress on the floor.



we hosted mike's pharmacy work holiday party on saturday night. it was about 20 people, so busy, but really fun.





celebrated my mother-in-law's 55th birthday yesterday.

she was pretty excited about the kindle we gifted her.
