manic monday

It’s Monday…I’m tired and all I really wanted to do this morning was stay in bed and snuggle with my Brenner. But I’m here, at work, looking out the window and wishing for the snow to melt…just a little. I was up til 11pm last night trying to clear my walkways with a broom and dustpan, which failed miserably. I must buy a shovel today.

Friday night, at Papa’s Pizza, I enjoyed catching up with the Hagen family. The Hagen’s and Mooney’s go waaaaaay back. It was amazing to watch Emmett and Brenner play together…just like Sean and I did at their age. And when Adam would leave the room, they would all take turns asking questions about him and giving me their approval. It was sweet.

Saturday…we went up to Three Creeks, by Sisters, in search for a Christmas tree for Adam’s house. At six degrees, sledding lasted all of 15 minutes and the first tree that looked half way decent was cut down. Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! After decorating the tree, we went over to my Aunt and Uncle’s for our Christmas dinner. Back at my place, Adam had a great time playing Santa. From tossing snowballs on top of the roof and ringing bells while Brenner was trying to fall asleep to eating Santa's cookies and making reindeer bite marks in the carrots…good memories and traditions were made for sure.

Sunday morning, Brenner couldn’t wait to run downstairs to see if Santa ate all the cookies. He was thrilled to say the least. After Brenner opened all his presents from Santa, we headed back over to my Aunt and Uncle’s to finish opening presents with my parents. I feel very blessed to have such a great family…loves and thanks to everyone for a great weekend.
