Resolutions or Sledding?

 I am not very big on the resolution thing.  I always think of some things that I want to change about myself like exercising more, eating healthier, taking more time off work, playing outside with the kids more, being less OCD about my house...you know stuff like that!  So I started the New Year out right and said I will handle each month as they come if I need to do anymore of the above things, just do them.  If I am doing pretty well that month, pat myself on the back and call it a good month.  For the most part I just want to be a better Mom, and we started this month out right by taking the first week off and spending it with the kids.  As you can tell from below first day of 2013, we braved the cold and let the sun shine down on our faces and went sledding at the lake.  Great exercise, great family time...we started 2013!

 

It's Christmas time...

Christmas Season has begun, and so does all of the things we have planned!  The annual Gingerbread house which turned out great but the back wall had some structure issues :-).  Having Christmas Eve with Tony's family at our house...which was a first this year!  And of course going to my Mom and Dad's on Christmas Day after we open presents at our house for round three of presents.  The kids favorite things was Cait's Furby and Cam got his new 3D archery target for the backyard.  Everyone was healthy and good times were had by all.  By the end of it you want to quote Clark Griswold "Where's the Tylenol" as it is always a flurry of excitement and exhaustion!
