SNOW

Oh, don't you love Wisconsin weather? Sense the sarcasm?! It snowed 14 inches here from Thursday (December 18) at midnight until Friday (December 19) at noon. Here are some pictures of us enjoying the snow! I've always hated snow, but having a child has made me appreciate it......a little.....! And of course these are out of order, I still don't know how to use this thing correctly...but we had to have hot cocoa after we played outside!!! YUMM!!!

I Miss You

It's been a while. Sorry blog. I haven't meant to neglect you. I just haven't been interested in you. That sounds mean doesn't it? We've been busy doing all things holiday related! You know, this is my favorite time of year! It's coming so fast and I'm trying to enjoy every minute! We've made lots of crafts, decorated the tree, shopped, baked some holiday treats and of course watched lots of holiday movies! We're just so excited for Christmas, actually the entire holiday break! Next Saturday we will spend Saturday at Nonny & PopArts celebrating Christmas with a yummy brunch and gift opening! Then we will spend Monday getting ready for our mini winter vacation to Stevens Point! Oh how much stuff we'll have to pack for our 12 day stay! We'll celebrate Christmas Eve with the Kobacks and possibly the DeWitts and then Christmas Day with the Stewards. SO exciting. It's the most wonderful time of the year! I've been slacking on listening to my favorite Christmas songs though. Payton has restricted my Christmas listening to the sounds of "Jingle Bells, Rudolph, I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas and Frosty" all off of YouTube, our latest obsession! Well, I've missed you blog. I can't promise I'll be back soon as we'll be busy with family & friends over our holiday break, but I'll have lots of attention to give you when I come back to reflect on our times!

Still Sleeping

It's 9:15 am and Payton is still sleeping! Great right, why am I up? Well, the daycare kids been here since 6:30 so a 5:45 wake up call was in order for me today. Sigh. Of course that would happen! Sleep away my baby boy, hopefully on Saturday you do the same thing! Hehe. Well, I'm off to start on my to do list. It's a yucky day outside. I can't even tell what it's doing. It's raining, snowing, sleeting, I don't even know but it doesn't look pretty. Oh how I can't wait until Christmas! Enjoy your winter day!

Home For The Holidays

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent the day at our house putting up our Christmas tree, watching Elf and making cookies! We went to Josh's parents for Thanksgiving dinner, which was delicious! It's always so fun to see the kids play together. We left for Stevens Point on Friday and when we're there we always have lots to do and lots of people to see! We stopped in at my Dad and Jens for lunch and a visit which was nice! We spent the weekend at my mom and Randy's playing Wii, eating a lot and spending time with my family! There isn't anything better than spending time with family, my favorite part of the holidays. We of course took Payton to the fire department to see the firetrucks! We also got to spend time with Hunter and we ate way too much, as we usually do in Point. We had a great time and are counting down the days until we go back for Christmas!
