Snow Day

We had an unexpected snow day this week!

I tried to go to work but got stuck.
After some guys stopped to push me out, I went back home to wake up the kids!

It was snowing/raining so Aiden had to sled with an umbrella!

It was actually a really good combination to make a snowman though!

Connor's Birthday

Connor turned 19 this week!!!

We got a Dunkin Donuts on base after he left so we were able to surprise him when he woke up with a box full of donuts!!  

My New Years Eve baby!!

Nothing says Happy Birthday like money!!

New Years Eve

Aiden had the idea to repeat our New Years Eve from Last year.....

Its crazy to think that we were on a cruise boat in Singapore playing Monopoly just 1 year ago!

Not exactly the same, but still lots of fun!!
We actually have no idea where this game came from.  It showed up in the mail without any indication of who sent it. 
If you sent us this game for Christmas, THANK YOU!!!!  It was lots of fun!

2021!!!!

We stayed up to say goodbye to 2020 and to watch 2021 come in!

From my phone..... definitely missed this girl tonight!

Our little town exploded with fireworks at midnight!  We definitely joined in!

If you look really close you can actually see a smile!! ;) 

New Years Day

We spent New Years Day putting all of the Christmas things away.  It always makes me so sad to box it all up but I like to think about unwrapping each ornament and decoration the next year and remembering all of the good memories of past Christmases.

Before we pack up the stockings we do our New Years Resolutions.  We have an index card inside our stockings with our goals for the next year on them.  We open them up on New Years Day and reflect on how we did with our goal from the previous year and then write down our goal(s) for the next year.  We've been doing this since 2013 so it's fun to look back and see what our goals were every year.  We all wrote down goals for 2021 and I can't wait to see how we did on Jan 1, 2022!
