the last wedding (of 2012!)

We survived another whirlwind wedding weekend with all of our friends and it was another awesome time together. The ceremony took place at a beautiful old Catholic church and the reception was held at an equally beautiful ballroom venue. It was perfect for a winter wedding and everything looked amazing. Especially my hubs while he was all decked out in his tux being an usher and sang the couple's first dance song. The reception was an absolute blast full of dancing, drinks and desserts. It was incredible. The drive home wasn't too bad either...especially coming home to watch the Vikings game and their big win to send them into playoffs! Whoo whoo, go Vikes! Now we are just looking forward to celebrating New Year's and having a few more days of vacation before work and school start up again!

all the girls dolled up and ready for the wedding!

Sunday Snuggles

snug as a bug.

It's been a cold and drizzly day here all day long so that calls for some Sunday Snuggles! I actually had to work this afternoon at the hospital so I made the most of the morning and got a good snuggle session in with Paisley. I spent the afternoon at work checking on some kiddos and making sure that they have enough activities and games to keep them busy for the day. Then I hung out with the sweetest and sassiest 7 year old I know! She is a recent relapse but her spirit, sense of humor and big bear hugs would definitely make you think different. It's hard to complain about an afternoon at work when I get to spend it being inspired by such amazing kids.

Once I got back home though, it was right back to the sweats and hoody to enjoy the rest of this lazy Sunday! The afternoon NFL games were still on so I got to catch the second half of the Vikings game....as well as Jordan freaking out excitedly one minute and ranting the next. Always hate to see the Vikes lose but at least our Hawkeyes won and pulled off a huge upset over Michigan State! And since it's so cold and crappy out, I opted for some go-to comfort food tonight and we had the rest of my homemade beef stew. Yummmy! I whipped it up after making a pot roast last week then with the left overs, I added a packet of dry onion soup mix and a can of beef broth....just like my Grandma does and it was just as delicious! Now it's time to settle in, snuggle up and enjoy some of our favorite Sunday night shows, Dexter and Homeland! Hope everyone had a good weekend, enjoyed some R&R and are geared up to start another week!
