Once the kids were in bed, Karl and I jumped right into the hot tub. I love hot tubs.

We soaked and talked for a while. It was nice to have a moment alone together in such a full house.

Afterwards we got out and got baking. Malia had baked the cakes she would decorate for Luke’s birthday made. So once she was done, we took over the kitchen and stared making cookies for Luke.

My sweet baby boy was turning three tomorrow, and we thought it would be a fun thing to do for him, and a way to keep up the tradition.

Once the cookies were baked, we stayed up playing games. We played Salem with Jim, Zach, and Danielle. Danielle was the witch three times in a row, or maybe twice. It felt like she was the witch a lot.

A good start to the trip.
