Week 52

Welcome and happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I'm grateful I could spend it with family and friends. Now that all the festivities are done we can relax a bit and enjoy a few lazy days before heading back to school and work. There aren't even any basketball games which is a welcomed treat so that means even more free time to chill. It's also time to get back to healthy eating and normal schedules. We had so many good meals and treats over the holidays which was great especially since they were enjoyed with family and friends, but I'm ready for a break from all that too.

Here are the pictures of the last week in 2018:


Day 358- Monday, 12/24/18
Happy Christmas Eve!  I think my kids enjoy Christmas Eve just as much as Christmas itself because they know it means creating cookie plates for the neighbors, enjoying homemade pizza before driving around to look at lights, and opening one gift before bed.  Sweet dreams boys! 





Day 359- Tuesday, 12/25/18
Merry Christmas!  We started the day with our traditional eggnog french-toast breakfast, then opened presents after getting dressed and taking a family picture, and ended the day enjoying a yule-log cake after an amazing prime-rib dinner.





Day 360- Wednesday, 12/26/18
Today was mostly spent enjoying presents received.  It took most of yesterday for Tyler to download the updates needed for the new game he is finally getting to play today.  It's a Call of Duty and it just seems so crazy that you can't play it right away.  A couple other games needed downloads too but they didn't take nearly as long as this one.





Day 361- Thursday, 12/27/18
After day one of a 3-day tournament for Brandon we took in a movie and ate dinner out since all of us are sick of cooking.  LOL!  More good eats and treats at Sauced.  Aquaman was a fun movie to watch.  I loved all the underwater scenes with the amazing visual effects.





Day 362- Friday, 12/28/18
Day 2 of the basketball tournament and the coach is preparing Brandon to go in.  We're in Roseville for all these games this time around.





Day 363- Saturday, 12/29/18
We had a later game start today for day 3 of basketball so we were able to de-Christmas our house before that and then spent the cold evening in our back-to-normal home by the fire watching all the college games. 'Tis the season!





Day 364- Sunday, 12/30/18
Tonight Tyler helped us make tacos for dinner and they were so good.  He also helped cook the bacon for breakfast a couple days this past week which is great.  I loving having my kids help in the kitchen.




Day 365- Monday, 12/31/18
Happy New Year's Eve!  We celebrated at home tonight with a finger-food type dinner and our traditional chocolate fondue for dessert while watching the ball drop on TV.  Just before midnight John prepped the sparking cider for the boys and the sparkling wine for us to toast in the new year.  Good-bye 2018!



That's it!  I've wrapped up another year in pictures and now it's time to start making new memories for the new year.  Here's to hoping you all have a great 2019.
