Is that hummus?

Like Riding a bike

Day 1 with my new board! Everything went as well as to be expected. I fell a few times and my feet were kind of numb but all will be better tomorrow. :)

There were so many people out and the lines for the lifts were insane. B and I waited in line for almost an hour. We are contemplating going back tonight in hopes the lines will be a little shorter.

Bourbon and cider

Since there is no snow, we had to occupy ourselves with drinking.

S'more station! Oh yeah!

Groceries for 9

Kel, Suz, Carrie and I hit up the super Walmart. We got the essentials for our group of 9, which includes 15 lbs of meat. Chili, tacos and burgers to come!

Cam's Christmas hat

One of my students thought can needed a festive present. It's a new hat!

Merry Christmas!

Sledding!

My kids made presents for their parents. We went "sledding" at school!! They were so excited to take home their presents and put them under their trees. Crafting and first grade go very well together. So fun!!

Another Year of Fabulous!

Well. It's my favorite day of the year! (tomorrow!) My Birthday!!! I can't believe I'm going to be 29. This is going to be an amazing year..(before I celebrated with my family I thought I was going to have a panic attack due to turning 29) Brett and I have some great things ahead! I can't wait to post about all of the things we have to look forward to! On Sunday we went to Mom's house and celebrated with her, Kel, Dad, and Gram & Pop.  Mom made amazing filet mignon, mushrooms and cauliflower mash.  She finished off the amazing din with home made cookies and cream cupcakes!!!!

My bday present: I couldn't have been more appreciative/excited/lucky/surprised when I opened her. Best family ever. The buttery leather feels incredible on my body. :) Thanks mom, Kel, Gram & Pop!!!!!!!!!

my new saying of the year

Make a wish!

I re-cut my bangs! Thought 29 needed some new hair.

Christmas cocktail

I had some friends over for a Christmas cocktail party! We had delicious apps and so many bottles of wine. I forgot to take lots of pics. Fail. 

Carrie, Jennie, Adriane, Me(why do i look like a giant?!)

Needless to say this is the only picture we got of all the CR girls... and it's pretty terrible. wahh!  This means we must get together again... soon.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree!

Mom and Kel gave me an early birthday present! We (meaning Brett) said we weren't putting up a tree this year (or many decorations) because we are obviously going to mom's for xmas and won't even be in our house. Another point (and valid. ugh) of his was that we are leaving for Wisp on the 27th and going snowboarding until Jan 1.  It didn't make sense to decorate.  I might have cried hysterically and thrown a bit of a fit because we all know how I feel about the month of December and holidays.. Mom and Kel said we couldn't be without any Christmas spirit. :) My family is the greatest!
