Celebrating! (Staycation Style)

We celebrated my dear friend, Jen's, 40th birthday on Saturday night. 

A few of us decided to get rooms at the new Prairie Meadows hotel and enjoy a little staycation after celebrating!  The hotel was gorgeous and our rooms were so nice.  And we had a blast celebrating with everyone! 

Happy 40th Jen! May you have a year full of blessings and happiness!

Sunday Funday

It was too cold to play outside today so I packed up peanut and we headed to play land at the mall. She was shy at first, but then another toddler at play land complimented her Dora socks and she was off making new friends.

I couldn't persuade her that hot chocolate would be the better choice and we ended up at her favorite, Orange Leaf.  She is as comfortable there as she is in her own home as, before I could stop her, making it appear that I don't teach my child manners, she whipped off her boots, lined them up, hung her coat on her chair and happily conquered her froyo.

Hope everyone had a fun Sunday!

Ringing in the new year!

We had fun ringing in the new year with Nette and Davy!

We had enough food to feed the Duggar family, delicious party punch (virgin punch for the little), good tunes, a fire going and lots of laughs!

As we reflect on 2012 and welcome 2013, we are so blessed for the family, friends and blessings we have in our lives.  Hope everyone had a safe, fun new year's eve!

Party hats!

Rea's first nativity set- perfect gift from her Godparents!

Cheers!
