Its been an incredibly long month so much going on and now that Christmas has come and gone..... parties and dinners and birthdays too.. We all survived! I may have slept for 2 days straight afterwards ha ha but we made new memories and enjoyed being with family and friends. It really was a different year without our parents and without leaving town. But it was so nice and relaxed. Christmas eve 2 of my sisters came with there families and we had a fun night together doing dinner the nativity and games. On Friday we had D's family here Christmas day it snowed it was a perfect skating, sledding day. I cooked a big turkey... D's siblings all brought food and munchies & dessert & it turned out to be a perfect day. We played games late into the night and the kids played so good together watched movies, played with toys and enjoyed it all.... we fit over 30 people in the dining room it was awesome...
Christmas lights and pj's and crazies....love em! This is pretty much how it goes! Real life here!
Christmas morn dreams came true beats and American girl and a pellet gun, and you win either way with paw patrol anything;) happy kids!
... Had Christmas breakfast for the first time at our house with just our family Norwegian style without all the stinky stuff;) but it was great we had the most amazing white Christmas scenes out our windows the perfect Christmas morning.
Birthdays.... and his favorite meal roast beef potatoes and gravy and ice cream cake! Then before church in our Sunday duds and for K's 14th birthday he wanted a basketball so bad so we got him one of his dreams;) Those things are expensive! But he's more than worth it:) 14 years old!! Crazy!!
-------------------------------------------
Hard to believe its over and that a new year is about to begin thats insane how fast this year went by! We've grown so much, moved and started new phases and new memories along the way. I'm so thankful for each of my kids for their dad who provides, watches over us and makes us laugh everyday.... we are pretty blessed:)
I'm Learning
that the most important things in life aren’t things..... that life is made
up of so many important memories and moments, and that TIME is one of
the most important things too!
To make everyday and every moment count!
And most of all to find JOY in the journey.
You are the person who has to decide.
Whether you’ll do it or toss it aside;
You are the person who makes up your mind.
Whether you’ll lead or will linger behind.
Whether you’ll try for the goal that’s afar.
Or just be contented to stay where you are.

SO HERE'S TO A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!
Merry Christmas and Happy 2016!

Christmas at your house was perfect. I couldn't believe we fit so many people in your dining room! Thank you so much for hosting. I love all the pictures! Here's to a new year. I think I'm ready to exercising more and feel the energy I see in you from exercising! Love you to bits. I didn't know I could love you more than when I was your admirer in Grade 3, but I do. I'm so grateful your my sister :)
