Just the 3 of us!

Hey friends! I am finally back...back to blogging (YAY) back to work (BOOO) and back to reality in general. I spent part of the morning already catching up on your lives...glad to see you all had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

Having the past 11 days off with Sean and Remi was such a blessing!! I am so SO incredibly thankful for that time we had together! Our busy schedules just don't allow for us to have this together time as much as I would like, so I definitely soaked up every second of it up!!

Remi was loving having her mom and dad home and not being kenneled! She got lots of walks which also gave Sean and I quiet time together....SO in LOVE!

She got to go on a lot of car rides, which she gets so excited about! And she got Lots and LOTS of love and cuddles!

New Years was also great...Sean wasn't feeling the best so we decided to stay home and have a low key night together. We tried out a new stuffed mushroom recipe which turned out delicious, grilled some steaks, and cuddled in together to ring in the New Year...I wouldn't have had it any other way!

This past week has really opened my eyes to how blessed I am and to how special time is. You will never have enough money no matter how much you work...time with my family is the most important thing. Time to relax, cuddle, talk, fall asleep on the couch while watching TV, cook, go on walks, time to just BE together. Sean and Remi are my everything and I can't thank God enough for blessing us with this past week, I will forever be grateful for these memories!

Now that I have read about all your New Year's resolutions, I decided to share a few of mine! Let's see how far they go :)

-Eat healthier, and exercise more

-Pay off our credit card debt

-Work on not getting upset over small things. After a long day at work I sometimes let something so small as some dirty dishes get to me....I know it's not worth it, so I am going to try hard to improve this!

- Continue to grow in my Faith

- Meet some more blogging friends!

I hope you all have a wonderful day, I am off to continue catching up with you all :)

Christmas Celebrations Recap!

Hey friends!! It feels like it has been a while! I want to start by saying I hope you all had a blessed Christmas weekend! I know I sure did! I also have very much enjoyed this time off Sean and I have had!! Now I want to recap my Christmas celebrations with lots of pictures! 
This was the best Christmas yet...why? It was my first Christmas as Sean's wife which was amazing!! 


Friday night we went to Duluth and relaxed. My favorite part of this evening was our night walk with Remi and my little sister. We looked at Christmas lights and decorations as we walked my grandma's little neighborhood in Duluth! 
Saturday we headed up to Two harbors to spend the weekend with my Dad's family. We had such a blast! We ate a lot of delicious food, played some games, and giggled over my grandma's gag gift to all the cousins! 

 Saturday evening we went to my aunt's house for the evening in Superior WI. I love spending time with family. I have the most fun, entertaining, loving family! I cherish every second with them. 

Christmas day we headed back home to spend the day with Sean's side of the family. We enjoyed some delicious homemade bruchetta and lasagna..YUM! Then I helped our sweet nieces paint some rings that they got from Santa

Cell phone pic..BOOO

Monday was my favorite day! We hosted Christmas at our home for my immediate family! There were LOTS of presents waiting to be opened. It was the best to see all my family members faces as they opened their gifts!

Even Remi had gifts to open....she was great at it!!

We ended our evening with Home Alone which had us all laughing, what a classic! 

Yesterday it was my sweet Mama's birthday! All us sister's and her spent the day shopping and went out to lunch! It was a wonderful day!! LOVE YOU MAMA!!!

Today Sean and I have finally had some time to relax! It has been wonderful! There is nothing better than waking up, making coffee, cuddling in with the pup and relaxing!

 We still have 5 days off after today and I want to soak it all up!! 

I hope you all are having a great week so far!! Talk to you soon :)

Merry Christmas!!!

Well we have almost made it!! In two more hours I will be off work for 10 days, and heading up north to see my family! I definitely have my share of celebrating planned out in the next couple days.

Friday- We are heading up to Duluth MN, and spend the evening with my mom, little sister, and Grandma..and of course Sean and Remi. I think a movie, and ice cream from the best little ice cream shop is in store!

Saturday- We will be waking up bright and early to head up north a little further to Two Harbors MN to spend the first part of the day with my dad's side of the family. There is always AMAZING food courtesy of my grandma, lots of laughs, and fun game time! Saturday evening we are going to my aunts house in Superior WI for a fun night with all the cousins!

Sunday- We are heading home to spend the day at Sean's parents with all my in laws! We were asked to bring an appetizer and decided on bruchetta! Can't wait to make it and of course eat it :)

Monday- We are hosting Christmas at our house for our immediate family! I absolutely love spending time with them and cherish every moment! I can't wait for everyone to open their presents...my tree is overflowing with them!

During my week off I won't be posting everyday...but I will try to sneak in a couple posts atleast! I am going to soak up every second of my break with family, friends, relaxing, shopping, and hopefully a few fun things that Sean and I don't normally have the time to do....dinner and a movie maybe!?

I want to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I pray everyone's celebrations are blessed, that you all make amazing memories that will last a lifetime! I also pray that the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ is celebrated above all! God Bless you all!!!!
