I can't believe it is December 21st and Christmas is four days away. Where has this year gone??? Its been a year full of transition, both professionally and personally. I am ready to ring in 2015 with a bang and start fresh with new goals and desires for the upcoming year.
We have had so many fun times over the last month and since I'm not the best at posts (because I have so much time on my hands ;) I thought I would recap the month so far. We ended November with a great Thanksgiving at Carolines house with both of our families. The food was delish, the company was great and the memories are always the BEST!
Then it was time to get the tree and get it decorated. I actually sat back this year and let J & J do all the decorating. Usually after they put up the ornaments I rearrange everything, but this year I just left it be. I thought they did a pretty good job and sitting on the couch with a glass of wine was perfect at the time. We also celebrated Lisa's birthday in early December. She has been raving about this yummy restaurant with Oysters and a great Happy hour so we had to check it out. She was right, it was delish!
Mike finished another successful season coaching Soccer for both J &J. Yes, you did hear me correctly, he coached both of them, with two practices per week as well as two games. He is one hell of a Dad. Jayden loves Soccer but Jordan did not fall in love with it the same way. So, Mike will be back for the Winter season, but will only be coaching Jayden this time. Thank goodness.... Not sure Mike could keep up with that schedule.
We are on our fifth night of Hanukkah and the boys are loving every minute of it. I get very overwhelmed when Hanukkah and Christmas overlap each other like they do this year. I continued my annual tradition and went into Jayden's classroom to talk about Hanukkah and share the Dreidal game and some goodies. Jordan really wanted me to come to his class too, but this year I just sent in some goodies for the kids.
Its so fun watching them light the candles each night and listen as they both recite the prayer in Hebrew. It melts my heart... We had a fun Hanukkah party at the Lindstroms this weekend with all the kids They have hosted for the last three years and the kids have a blast, Unfortunately, the night got the best of Jordan and we made it an early night. Sometimes the fun is just too much.
I am now on vacation through Christmas and will enjoy every minute of it. I have been baking up a storm and now preparing for our Christmas Eve dinner. Looking forward to some quality family time, yummy food, friends and our annual NYE bash.... So much more to fit in before December ends.
