My Valentines Day

Valentines Day fell on a Tuesday this year and with Bryan at work of course, I had to celebrate the day my way! I asked the cutest guy in town to be my date..... and he said yes! Dawson and I went to dinner, not at Wingers where he really wanted to go because it was just to busy. Bummer! So we hit another favorite- Panda Then it was off to see the Harlem Globetrotters! It was seriously a great night!!! I love that little guy and loved spending time with just him!!! It was fun just to watch his face and hear him just chat the whole way home!


Being Silly!
Let the show begin!!!
He was so enthralled, I loved watching him!

Becky's Wedding

This weekend I got to go solo to Logan! It was fantastic to have some alone time. It felt strange going back by myself. I was flooded with a lot of emotions! I have to be honest, I really think when I moved I left part of me in Logan! So many memories there!
I mean look at this, so beautiful!
I got there Friday and my first stop was Old Grist Mill! It had been so long I almost forgot what I normally got! So good! After checking in to the hotel, and chowing down my Old Grist Mill I was off shopping! I can't even tell you the last time I went shopping completely by myself, so nice! Then it was back to the hotel, our rendezvous spot, where I was able to sneak in a couple chapters of my book before the gals got there. Then it was a night full of food, friends, laughing and more laughing! After I crawled in bed at 3am, I realized even more just how lucky I am to have these ladies in my life and how much I have missed them! We love each other good, bad and everything in between!

Saturday I slept in, which is very rare and I relished every minute of it! Helped Bec with a few wedding things and then got ready for the day-totally uninterrupted! After checking out I headed to lunch with Amy and Becky, lucky me tha'ts twice in a month I have got to see these amazing ladies!! So great to catch up with them! Then I made it out to Mendon, it has been way to long since I have been. I really hate not being able to go as often as we used to when we lived there. And it was also really weird going by myself! Boy I miss her!

All the Ladies!!


The drive home was long, snowy and just plain brutal! I was so excited to get home to my hubby and kiddos. But I was even more surprised by what I got when I home........
Not only did Bry get me beautiful roses, but the house was clean!!! I LOVE that MAN!!! So lucky to have been able to go and even more lucky for what I get to come home to!!!

Nativity

After Christmas Eve dinner, we decided to act out the Nativity this year. It was so fun! I have such fond memories of doing this as a child. It was a great way for the kids to bring in the Spirit of Christmas. I hope they felt it and that is a fond memory for them to look back on!

Dad read the story. Luke of course was baby Jesus. Addy was Mary and Dawson was Joseph.....
"And she brought forth her firstborn son,and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger;" Luke 2:7

Ellie, Ky and Derek were shepards.....
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night." Luke 2:8

Julsey was the angel......
"And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them," Luke 2:9
Bry, Rich and Tay were the wise men......
"Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the King, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem." Matthew 2:1
