Hey guys!! We
had a fun New Year’s Eve and weekend! I am off work every Thursday & Friday,
so this week was normal for me, but so fun to hang out with friends that
usually work!
On New Year’s
Eve we went to dinner at "The Brick House" in Bardstown and it was
delicious, romantic, hysterical & just the way I wanted to spend this night with my love. Then we
came straight home to ring in the new years with the kiddos!! They did stay up (well 2 out of 3) until Midnight and we had the
best time watching the ball drop. This was the first year my older two really
go into watching the ball drop and it was really fun!!
On New Year’s Day –
we laid around the house all day long. I caught up on laundry and cleaning
while the kids and josh watched football!! That night we want to “Uncle Handsome’s”
lol for dinner- crazy cousin play time, cuddles with Kampbell and a movie more football.
Friday I had to run
into work for a bit. So all 4 of us packed up and headed to my office. I told
the kids they had to sit quietly- and they did…for 2 hours!!!! I was so proud
of them and am thankful they listen so well. We left to do some shopping and
get lunch and smoothies since they were so good at my office. We ended our
shopping trip with buying everyone new flannel sheets. This purchase couldn’t
have come at a better time because today the wind chill is -10!!! CRAZINESS!!!!
Don’t worry, we are warm and bundled in our pony, sports and animal print
sheets!! When Josh got home from work, we all got in our camo and went “riding”
through the fields looking for deer. We actually had a blast doing this and I
am thankful for sweet family time. We ended the night with dinner and good
family hide and seek game. The kids thought it was so neat how Josh and I were
so good at hiding…basically, we kept quiet. Way too hard for them to do right
now. Before bed, we turned all the lights out, the kids grabbed their flash
lights, piled in our bed and we told stories with finger animals on the
ceiling. Perfect ending. Why do we not do this every weekend?
Saturday was one of my
sister’s birthday!!! *Happy birthday Kayla!!* We met her and my in-laws for a
sushi lunch to celebrate!! The kids had the best time…and we made it through
the hibachi “fire” with no tears!! This is big for us!! My friend and I had planned to take the older
girls to Winter Jam (a Christian concert) in Louisville but after much debate
we decided to stay in and cook chicken and dumplings and watch movies in our pj’s.
While we hated to miss the concert….we enjoyed the fellowship from the warmth
of her home! Ps: we watched “If I stay”….so sad…not sure I even liked the movie
as a whole….did any of you all see it? Thoughts?
Sunday we spend with
our church family and then after a great Italian style lunch we watched a
Sunday afternoon movie while Josh and Kasen went down to the farm to put corn
out and get ready to do some hunting. I love a laid back, comfy clothes
weekend!!
Hope you guys had a great start in 2015!!!!
SHOUT OUT: my other sister’s
birthday was yesterday, and although she is in Georgia and we weren't able to
physically celebrate, we thought of her all day long!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY
KIMMY!!!!!
God Bless,
Em
