Merry Christmas, Holiday Break & NYE!!

Weekdays:
  • Monday - We Wish You a Merry Christmas!!  The kids let us all sleep until 7a!  We got up and were thrilled to see Santa came!  The kids let us get coffee, Christmas music going and then started to rip into our gifts.  My favorites were an Aviator Nation hoodie, a Football puzzle & some records.  Clint's favorites were the Rhone shirts and air pump.  Connor loved his dirt bike from Santa and Nerf basketball hoop for his closet door.  Maci would say her favorites were her stand mixer, hover board seat from Santa and the legos.  We played all day, watched football and were super lazy around the house!  We got ready to head out around 530p to do our annual pizza, beer and bowling at Park Tavern.  The kids were pumped that our friends the Cassem's joined us this year about half way through.  It was a super special day!
Santa Loot for Each Kiddo!

  • Tuesday - Connor had his annual well check at the Dr.  He is 75th percentile for height still.  We are going to let him get the mole on his nose removed, his request.  Skin is looking good and he will start a daily Benadryl to help with all his sneezing/potential allergies.  Afterward, we enjoyed Peg's for lunch and then chilled the rest of the day! 
Lego Fun
  • Wednesday - Clint and I were exhausted from binging Virgin River late into the evening :) We got up late and Clint ran to a hair cut and then I was off to have a nice lunch with my pal Megan.  We work together but are always so busy we never can get together.  Then that evening Clint hosted some of the soccer dads for some golden tee while Maci and I finished my current puzzle so we could start my new football one from Christmas.
Puzzle 1 Done!
  • Thursday - I got up in time for my Hydra Facial at 10a.  Oh man was that lovely!  I decided to do one over break b/c they were 20% off and it was delightful!  That night Clint and Connor went to a Timberwolves game for Connor's birthday gift.  They had a blast and saw a good W!  While they were gone, Maci and I rented the Eras movie - my total Swiftie loved it!!
They are Ready for the Game
Buddies!

Friday:
  • Maci's annual holiday soccer tournament!  I offered to coach again and we got our first game assigned at 710a - Whew that was an early alarm!!  We had to be there at 630a and the drive is about 30 mins so we were out the door at 6a.  The girls CRUSHED the first team like some 17-0.  We won our 2nd game 4-2.  We then played the best team in the entire brackets and lost 1-5 but they worked their rears off!  That meant we didnt move on to the semi final but it was a super fun morning.
  • We got home around 130p and took really nice naps!!!
  • Maci then had her quad soccer training at 4p, she was not super pumped to do more but understood it was a commitment.
  • I met the other 3 moms at Rock Elm across the street for drinks while the girls worked.
  • We went to pick up the girls and 2 of the moms decided along with me to go back for another drink and dinner - this is what is so wonderful about holiday break!
  • Once home, I watched football with Clint and he made me some captain and cokes.  Needless to say I was slightly overserved but it was a fun evening. HA
Love this team!
My Gal!
Being Silly Post Dinner
Saturday:
  • I was moving slow on Saturday but got some food in me and took a walk for some fresh air!
  • We had a low key no major plans day at the house so that helped for recovery.  I got groceries ordered, laundry done and a lot of the regular to dos.
  • We watched the Dolphins and OSU look like absolute pooh!!
  • We were invited over to the Harty's but I was so tired and still feeling a bit rough so we called it a night and got some good sleep before NYE!
Sunday:
  • Happy NYE!!!
  • We got some more things done around the house and got a nice walk in with the dogs.
  • We had football on all day and tuned in for the Bengals game only to be disappointed again, not our season for sure!
  • We tuned into the super boring and sad Packer/Vikings game
  • The Harty's and their ISU college friends came over after their dinner around 10p.
  • We had cocktails and games in the basement.  Celebrated with the ball drop and then most left slightly after midnight.  They had all been over served on Saturday night HA, glad I decided to take an early bed time that night.

Here is to 2024 and being the best version of ourselves!!!  We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and may we spend quality time together in '24!
Lots of Love,
