And a happy new year!

 

We spent the last week and a half in Minnesota, so that's my excuse for the long break from the blog. It was a wonderful time and there are only about 4 zillion pictures to go through, but thought we'd give you a quick glimpse of us in our Christmas finery! Hope everyone had as merry of a Christmas as we did and Happy New Year too!

Oh we need a little Christmas, right this very minute....

Here begins a mini-house tour "The Christmas version"

The entryway

 

The living room

 

Can you spot two cute munchkins?

 

The other living room

Stockings are hung....

The munchkins.

And here's an early Christmas present....a little video, since we haven't done one in a while!

Randomosity

Was just looking through pictures and had a bunch of randomness going on, some are even from my phone but all were worth sharing so here ya go! 

 

Maggie being silly at the library

 

Palm Springs

 

Maggie being silly at the park

 

Found Gretta wearing Josh's sweatshirt when I came out of the shower the other morning

 

Maggie likes to copy Gretta and pretends to go potty, maybe she'll be an early learner?!

 

We maybe have a theme here......Maggie being silly at lunch

 

Gretta's park adventures

 

Making bread with Josh and this might be his favorite sweatshirt

 

Yummy supper (Josh cooked) venison chops, sweet potatoes on the grill and brussels sprouts and carrots

 

and homemade bread, yea that's right, be jealous

Road tripping....again!

This time we headed down to Arizona, for Josh's cousin Peter's wedding.

 

We thought it would be warm, boy were we wrong! Not that we've gone soft living out here, because 46 isn't that cold, but it was rainy and the wedding was outside and we were in Arizona!

 

Congrats to the happy couple Peter and Jaimie!

 

The slight chill did not effect the girls at all.

 

Drinking from a fancy glass!

 

The girls had SO MUCH FUN dancing!

 

All in all it was a beautiful wedding weekend!

'Tis the Season!

 

If you stare at this long enough it makes your eyes do funny things. Trust me I did.

 

Our sweet girls reading Christmas stories to one another!

 

Maggie LOVES to play piano and could she look any older in this picture? So not a baby. Boo hoo!

 

This is where the ornaments should go, right?

 

Gretta liked putting things up high so "Maggie can't eat 'em"

As for the sorry state of Maggie's shirt, that would be drool people. 

 

Gingerbread house! Not only was this Gretta's first time, believe it or not, I had never made one either!

 

Looks just like the picture on the box.

 

YAY for Christmastime!
