Good bye 2012 and HELLOOOO 2013! The past year was filled with lots of exciting things and changes...especially for Tate. I feel like he went from my baby to a toddler in the blink of an eye! He's getting so smart and I love watching him learn new things everyday.
Before New Years, we celebrated our final Christmas for the year. We went to Creston for the weekend. On Friday, we spent some time with friends while Grandma and Papa babysat. We had a nice chat with friends, and enjoyed a little time out!
On Saturday, Ryan, Janelle and the kiddos came and we spent time with the family. We opened gifts with the kids Saturday after the boys had nice little rests. Tate got lots of awesome toys, books, movies, bath toys, and even a new bedding set. It was so fun to watch them open and play.
Later in the evening, we had a delicious supper and we got to do chocolate fondue with Grandma Jean Ann. Tate loved it! He enjoyed the marshmallows most! ha!
The adults got to open presents once we finally got the kids off their sugar high and tucked into bed. We got LOTS of awesome things..spoiled once again! We truly appreciate everything! Thank you to everyone!!!!
On Sunday, we played awhile and then hit the road. We headed home and did lots of organizing and laundry. I even decided it was time to put away some of the babyish toys. Tate's toy room is all ready for an almost two-year-old.
We cheered on the Cyclones on New Year's Eve...but that ended in a loss! Boo. We had a nice time watching the game with West Marshll friends while my parents babysat for us. We brought in the New Year by watching the New York ball drop, but we said good night at 11:55...neither of us old farts could keep our eyes open! :)
Now today is the last day of my break! It's back to the kiddos tomorrow. Ready or not! :)
Here's a few pics from our fun weekend:
