We had a great Christmas. Spent it with our families. The weather wasn't the greatest for traveling but what is Christmas with out snow!! The kids are still discovering what they got. And are playing nonstop with them. We are so great full for our families and friends this year. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!
We got to visit Santa's "helpers". Tyler got to visit two different types. Tis the season. I hope you all are getting your shopping done and have a wonderful holiday.
We ended our day at the Gould household. Ate some more food and played. We also decorated Meeme and Papa's Christmas tree! Now that we are full of turkey we can get ready for Christmas. The tree is going up at our house very soon. We can't wait. Maybe we will have a white Christmas maybe we won't but we have our family together and that is what is most important!
We had a great dinner at the Boschee house. With the Boschee, Bailey, and Knodle Family's. With a surprise visitor, Molly, she came home from FL. We also had a great time taking some fun pictures. It was pretty cold out while trying to get pictures outside so Katie let me fashion her fur coat. What a fun day.
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving! We tried to get a family picture today. We had a great day with Family and plenty of great food.
We went to the U of MN football game at the new stadium. The last home game this season. The stadium is really nice and big. What an experience to see and be in it! The weather was a bit chilly and windy when we went. I wasn't ready for being so cold. We won but not by much. 
Ok so now I have Mr. Spider Man and A little monkey on my hands!!! I took Tyler and Ben to my new favorite place!! Tyler loved climbing the walls!! Who would of thought! Ben said he enjoyed it as well and it was a good workout. I am sure we will be going there a lot more with all the kids.
Don't we all look so happy!! We had a hard time deciding on who gets what pumpkin and guess who gave up his so no one was sad- yes Tyler the 5 year old gave his to Allison so she wasn't sad!! They just love taking the seeds out and feeling it between their figures.
Think I am afraid of heights!! Well maybe not anymore! I enjoyed my first time rock climbing the other day and absolutely loved it. I will be going back very soon. It was a great work out and meeting so many new people. Great night of climbing!!
We went to the Boo Zoo at Como for a little trick or treat fun. We saw a lot of different characters. I think the two older ones are getting to old for this holiday which makes it so sad. They grow up so fast. They still had a good time collecting some good treats though.
We ran the Twin Cities Marathon races. I did the 10k- my first one! The kids did the 1/2 mile and my mother in law did her first 5k! The weather was very cold, windy, and rainy. BRR we were so cold but had a really good time!!
Tyler's 5th birthday! He had a blast! He had a spiderman party. Loved all his gifts and loved his cake. He is so easily pleased. My baby, I can't believe he is already 5. How time flies.
We can't forget about Tyler's first day of preschool. His expression says it all "mom no more pictures"
Well we celebrated our 12 year anniversary at the Blubber Run in Mpls. I ran and the kids watched. But it was a really fun event to watch and even run! Then Ben and I went out to eat down in Stillwater(my favorite town) at Phil's Tara Hideway. What a great little place to go.
Our First morning went well. Justin was ready half hour before we had to go and well Allison took her sweet time. I think she was a little nervous. Can't wait to hear how their day went.
The last days of summer were spent at a Town Festival and St. Mary's Point down on the St. Croix River. We finally had some good weather where we could enjoy the outside weather and actually go swimming. The kids had a blast at the river, they got to swim in some big waves. We are sad that summer is over but can't wait for next year's summer with just more to do! Mom is glad though the kids are going back to school :)
