Brunch!

Today the three of us had the chance to grab brunch for the first time in FOREVER!  Thanks to a wonderful recommendation from Kendra, find her adorable blog here, we went to Hot Plate in the Nokomis neighborhood.  It was exactly what we wanted.  The atmosphere was great as was the food.  The staff loved Henry and spent the entire time entertaining our little dude so we could actually enjoy our food.  Definitely going back.

Mommy Date

This Saturday Nick worked the entire day.  Not uncommon.  I decided that Henry and I needed to desperately get out of the house and thought it would be fun to take a trip to the Children's Museum in St.Paul.  It was our first time going and we had so much fun!  It was wonderful watching him run around and interact with the other kids.  It made me see what a big boy he is becoming.  Next winter I am considering getting season passes.  Sorry for the blurry pictures, but it was a task trying to catch him sitting still at this place.  

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Here are some photos from my iPhone of ours. :)

CHRISTMAS!

I am so excited to finally share our Christmas!  Actually Christmases.  We had 6 total.  Wheww.  The 23rd we spent Christmas at Nick's mom's house.  I unfortunately forgot my camera and don't have any photos (if you are reading this and you do, please send my way!).  Christmas Eve we spent the evening at my Aunt's house.  She always does such a wonderful job at making it feel so special.  Henry was at first a little overwhelmed with all the gifts, but soon got the hang of it.  :)

All ready to to see what Santa brings in the morning. :)

Christmas morning we had everyone over to our house.  I made pull-apart caramel rolls and mimosas. The night before Nick spent two hours putting together a play kitchen and train that my parents got Henry to go around the tree.  It was so much fun to see his face the next morning.

The rest of Christmas day we spent with my Grandmother and Nick's side of the family.  We were all so tired by the end of the day, all of us went to bed at 8pm.

Last, but not least, we spent New Years Day with my Dad's side of the family.  My cousin Jared and his wife Tansy had twins two months after Henry was born.  It was so much fun to see the three of them together.  It's crazy how much the three of them look alike.  

 

Although it was a lot, we had such a wonderful Holiday and always feel so blessed to have so many special people in our lives to spend it with.  This last week we have been getting things back to normal around the house.  Hope you all enjoyed the large amount of photos!
