Weekend Wrap-Up: The Whoa Vikings! Edition

You guys, I have never been a Vikings fan. But I half paid attention to the game, and actually watched the last couple minutes tonight. I think the fact that the Super Bowl is going to be here makes the idea of the hometown team winning that much more interesting. So even though I don’t understand football at all...the ending of that game was crazy. Anyways. 

This was a fun weekend! Cat, Hanna and I spent the morning together yesterday for a big shopping trip (see G-ma’s birthday surprise below).


I love those girls! I don’t know how I got so lucky to be born into a family with two amazing sisters and also MARRY into a family and get two more amazing sisters (and brother)!

Later the girls helped G-ma and Pa put together a cute little tool bench.



I got some Luna snuggles last night.



Today we went with G-ma’s brother Rich and his family for to celebrate G-ma’s birthday with a lunch and bowling! The girls had so much fun with all the teenagers.


Then we went back to G-ma and Pa’s house and gave G-ma her birthday surprise...65 birthday gifts! 


She had lots of fun opening them all up (actually she had a lot of help from two little girls). And there may or may not have been a few individually wrapped bananas...


I’ll leave you with some birthday party videos:




Have a great week!

A Picture Update: Happy Birthday G-ma!!

Happy Friday and HAPPY BIRTHDAY G-MA!



G-ma is kind of hidden but this is the only pic I had with her three girls.

When she brought over Luna this afternoon, the girls were kind of a mess. But later I got them to sing for her:





It has been a pretty quiet week for us. Maya was at Boom’s on Monday:



And G-ma and Pa’s on Wednesday and Thursday.



Poor Cal got sick last night, so Chris and I took turns at home with her today. And that’s about it!

I’ll leave you with some Luna videos from our play time tonight.


Have a great weekend.

Weekend Wrap-Up

After 17 days off, it is back to work for me tomorrow.  It will be good to get in a routine, but I’m not looking forward to frantic mornings again. 

Yesterday morning we met Auntie Yoda and Lucy for brunch, and then went to Boom’s for some crafts and play time.




 Those cousins are pretty sweet.


Then we went to G-ma and Pa’s house to hang out and pick up Luna.



She was so darn cute last night and keep me warm on my lap.

We played Headbanz last night, and got some pretty funny cards (at least the girls thought they were all HILARIOUS...I particularly enjoyed Callie’s card).



Today we tried a meeting of Iris and Luna at a neutral location. Luna was a nutball and constantly barked at all the activity at the falls. She ended up banished to the car with Chris while the rest of us did some walking around with Boom and Iris. Iris was a hit in her booties!


I love this picture I took of the girls and the sunray.


After some quiet time we headed out to do some sledding. It felt downright tropical today in the 20s after so many days in the negatives!


The girls’ blue eyes looked beautiful in the chilly sunshine.


Laura sent me a cute picture of Lucy in some of Maya’s baby jammies, that also happen to have a matching set for bigger girls. It was fun to go through pictures again to find them!


I’ll leave you with a collection of videos: Lucy, Luna, and sledding!



Have a great week!

A Picture Update

Holy moly two+ weeks of winter vacation are nearly over. It went so fast, but at the same time Callie’s birthday 2 weeks ago seems like FOREVER ago!

As for the pictures from this week:

We went to the zoo on New Years Day. It was cold but we enjoyed the indoor things, and one outdoor thing that was at least covered from the wind. The fire place helped warm us up after!


The girls and I had fun with Luna! She is a total nutball in the mornings.


Then Maya and I got some Lucy time at Boom’s House on Wednesday!


I relished the above zero temps and got new glasses this week.


Maya and I did a pantry reorganization project yesterday (see video for more on that) and the girls and I watched a movie after we picked Cal up from school.


Maya and I stopped at Starbucks near her preschool for a snack after I picked her up this afternoon, and her morning preschool teacher was there working as a barista! So she bought us my cup of coffee and two cake pops for the girls! So nice.


And finally, a few videos:



Have a great weekend!
