Weekend Wrap-Up
Hey all! Happy Sunday!
It was a busy (and productive) weekend for us. Maya had her final gymnastics class of the year, where she got to show off all her moves and even got a medal! See the video later for some of her moves.
Then we headed to Chris' buddy Richie's 40th birthday party...which happened to be a private tour of the US Bank Stadium! We were the only group in the whole place, and we got to see a lot of suites, "cabins", the locker rooms, and the field. We aren't football people, but it was still pretty cool!
It was super foggy on our way out, we couldn't see the tops of the downtown buildings.
Today we spent the morning cleaning...the girls did some bedroom cleaning (sort of...) and I spent time cleaning out our kitchen. But then got to go have fun at Circus Juventas. It was an amazing show!
Lastly, the elves.

Weekend Wrap-Up: The HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE MARI & The Femme Farm Edition!!
Hello! First up, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNTIE MARI!!! We are glad we got to FaceTime you today and hope you had a great one!
Awhile ago Hanna, Cat and I talked about doing a quick overnight stay with us and the kids and the dogs somewhere fun in December. I ended up finding a farm Airbnb a little less than an hour from the cities, so we booked it for December 9th.
Awhile ago Hanna, Cat and I talked about doing a quick overnight stay with us and the kids and the dogs somewhere fun in December. I ended up finding a farm Airbnb a little less than an hour from the cities, so we booked it for December 9th.
And it came up so fast! We got to the Femme Farm in Glencoe around 1:00 yesterday. It is a big, BEAUTIFUL farmhouse, with a big BEAUTIFUL barn on lots of BEAUTIFUL farmland.
The owner met us when we got there and showed us around. It is truly a lovely, cozy and spacious place. Perfect for 9 crazy people and 2 crazy dogs.
Once we unpacked all our stuff, we headed out to the barn to meet the barn kitties, ducks and chickens! The barn kitties were a hit. The barn itself was adorable, with lots more cute decorations, chandeliers, etc.
Then Hanna, Cat and I took the dogs on a long walk around the farm land. The dogs were in heaven! Later, Maya tested out the little playground in the back.
It was pretty chilly, so by mid-afternoon we were ready to be cozy inside...snuggling and playing games.
After awhile the kids wanted to go visit the animals again, so we took advantage of this cute little structure on the property (it's a crystal shop!) with the G on it...the perfect spot for a photo-op with the littles (and a kitty).
Then it was time to go to the playground, and later more game time inside.
The house was so kid friendly with tons of toys and activities, including a DINOSAUR HEAD. While Auntie Cat and Uncle Dan made a spaghetti dinner, the dinosaur shenanigans were afoot. And then there were Oreo Balls for dessert!
After dinner we lit the Menorah to celebrate the 3rd night of Hanukkah, and then had some more game time and snuggle time before bed.
This morning the girls were up by 7:30am to check on the cats, and I peeked out at them with my coffee from the wrap-around front porch. Maya and Luna had some crazy time on the floor.
Then there was more time for games, going to that cute little crystal shop (the girls and I each picked out a crystal) and living room play time.
We spent the last hour watching the girls doing funny things outside and cleaning everything up...even Mitchell and Isla helped with the bedding!
All in all, it was a great 24 hour little getaway at the Femme Farmhouse! Click here for 5 minutes of video of our crazy adventures.
This afternoon we relaxed and the girls went to see Beauty and the Beast with Pa! It was a busy weekend! We have a couple of very busy weeks ahead, but are excited for the fun to come.
