It's still cold, we are still in midst of Covid and going a bit stir crazy! We were able to  hike a bit and get outside, but it was chilly! Ready for warmer weather for sure!! Too bad we have lots and lots of weeks left... 

 

 

Not much happening for us. Got back in to the swing of things last week with in person school. Browns had a tough loss, but we were just excited to see them in the playoffs! Kiddos are going a bit stir crazy since we are pretty much stuck in the house with this cold weather and Covid. Hopefully we'll have a few sunny days this week and can get outside a bit! 

Trying out some make up...not exactly the natural look haha 

This kid loves his dog! 

Go Browns!! We has our bit PLAYOFF win yesterday. Wahoo! 

Other than that, just enjoying the kiddos. Pics below show how Jordan is such a snuggle bug. He likes to be as CLOSE to you at all times. We all love this kid! 

 

Happy New Year! 

Chris and I are so blessed to both get the time between Christmas and New Years off of work. We spent lots of (at home) family time! 

2020 of course was a rough year due to COVID. But Chris and I are so beyond blessed! We both were able to work the whole time (I even got a promotion) and kiddos have had more days in school than out so far for this school year. Jordan learned how to read, lots of new math skills (+ -- x), potty trained (finally), ride a tricycle and use a scooter! Em is rocking 3rd grade, made her first communion, played softball, basketball and volleyball on a team for the first time and became an expert on all things mindcraft and makeup. Chris and I did numerous house projects including painting the whole first floor, laying new flooring down in the office, and pallet wall to name a few. Sure, our trip to Disney was cancelled (twice...) but we have so much to be happy and thankful for 2020! 

Now time to get back to the grind... 

Em made it to midnight (barely...)

New haircut! 

 

We had an awesome Christmas, despite things being different this year. Kiddos got awesome presents from Santa, we ate yummy food and enjoyed Mass on the TV. Hopefully next year we will be back to normal....but we mad the bas of it!! 

 

Getting ready for Christmas! Things are different this year, but spending lots of quality time together! Kiddos and Chris have to more days of (online) school-I've already started break. Wahoo! 

 

 

All good vibes and getting excited for Christmas! Went and walked around some outdoor lights on Saturday, Em had her (recorded) holiday concert, drinking hot chocolate. Excited for one more week of school/work and then we are off!! (well, kind of, we have online school for two days next week). 

Killin' it in new holiday outfit (this picture does not doe all of the sparkles justice...)
