- 1st Day @ Rally for me - besides getting lost finding the parking garage, I had a great first day - everyone was so welcoming and computer, desk etc was ready for me! It will be a huge culture shift but seems to be for the positive as they are far more of the hip, digital company in a cool downtown loft which means things like free lunch, free snacks/beverages including a beer fridge for cocktail times in the day HAHA yep!

Tuesday -
- Another great day - only got lost in the skyway today but found the better garage parking HA
- Kids are getting oh so ready for Christmas! God Mommy Christie for Maci sent an early Christmas gift which Maci adores - a light up Christmas ornament but instead Maci sleeps with it haha

Wednesday :
- Clint went to Maci's Kindergarten Gingerbread City - each kid got to bring a parent and Maci loved it!! Clint said she held it together but a few other kids cried when it was time for their parents to leave :( Sad
- Gymnastics at night followed by a yummy dinner at Sunshine Factory!!
- We noticed our heat was having issues again - UGH! That meant Clint worked from home for the repair man next day.
Thursday :
- Connor has been potty training with good success lately but seeing as he is changing daycares after the new year to a New Horizon closer to home, his current teachers are having fun with him when things go array! Like today's accident and he was out of change of pants so they chose this pair from the community selection HAHAHA
- I got a horrible call at work from Clint - turns out the circuit board of our 5 year old furnace had gone bad - the company says they have had nothing but trouble with that particular furnace and circuit board so while we could have paid 2k to replace just that they are recommending an entirely new furnace - MERRY CHRISTMAS TO US and we thought the Peloton was our family gift - BLAH!!! But it is what it is and after we pay this, we have a 10 year warranty plus 3 year labor warranty so we know we will not have furnace issues for the foreseeable future.
Friday :
- Happy 3rd Birthday Conor Man!!
- This was Connor's birthday and last day at New Horizon Minnetonka SAD but thankfully he was so excited about his birthday that he didn't realize the sad part. Plus, we plan to use so many as sitters - YAY!
- After work, I grabbed Connor and Clint left the house (new furnace was installed) to grab Maci and Connor's cake.
- We had a yummy dinner at McDonald's chosen by Connor followed by cake.
- Clint and I watched the ugly Toledo bowl game at night with some cocktails.

Saturday :
- No Dance or Soccer due to holiday break
- Still busy with Santa Brunch with the Zehr's and Cassem's as a way to celebrate Connor's 3rd Birthday!!
- Santa was great but the dog sledding was the major hit with kids and dad's were pissed the mom's sent them out in the cold to wait while we enjoyed Mimosas inside - looks like they should offer to help with the Santa line or loading kids plates in the future!!! HA

After brunch we ran home to play with Pop the Pig (Connor's gift from the Cassem's) before I headed out to my "squeeze it in before the holidays" hair appointment :) Afterward, I grabbed us some dinner and Clint and I binge watched the first 4 episodes of Bravo's show Dirty John - I am obsessed with suspense like that and Debra - you are an idiot UGH!
Snug as a Bug with Her Buddy
Sunday -
- Started the day being super lazy with games, shows and cake pops from Great Aunt Sue and Mike - It's almost Christmas, why not?! Thanks you guys!!
- Watched football - could only swallow the 1st half of the Bengals game and then I tuned into the Vikings - KEEP IT UP!! Got a lot of computer to dos complete and started on laundry.
- Connor is on day 3 with 0 accidents and only a pull up for bed/nap time!!! We haven't quite found the same success with removing the Nookie/Paci! One day at a time!
- We just wrapped up our evening by hitting El Rodeo for some Mexican food for dinner! Kiddos are now sound asleep and Clint and I will watch the latest episode of Dirty John that aired tonight WAHOO! with a cocktail of course ;-)
- I didn't quite make it on the Peloton or to the grocery so that is on tomorrow morning before Christmas Eve fun!
We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year!!!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
