Ringing in 2013
We finished 2012 hanging out with friends. We had dinner at a little Italian place and then went over to their house and played Apples to Apples. And the party animals that we are we headed home at about 1030 or so and then welcomed in the New Year. On New Years Day both Neal and I had the day off so it was nice to be able to spend the our last day of our vacation hanging out together. Welcome 2013 we are excited to see what this year has in store for us.

Christmas
I know better late then never, but here is what we did for Christmas. We headed to Colorado for a week of leisure and spending time with family and friends. We went shopping at REI which is always on our list of things to do since we don't have one in Kansas City. We also went to Golden. Then on Christmas Eve we went over to my aunt's house and Santa came. We have had Santa visiting our family Christmas' since I was about 3, so I have memories of his visits from when I was little.
On Christmas Day we woke up to fresh snow which was great to have woken up to a white Christmas. We also were able to spend part of Christmas Day with Neal's dad.
Then on Boxing Day we headed up to the Mountains and visited my Aunt Debbie.
We then headed down to Colorado Springs and was able to hangout with friends. Then as the week was coming to an end I did my first Cross Fit work out and I do have to say that it was awesome but did kick my butt! And finally Sunday came to quickly and we headed back to Kansas. It was so good to be able to see everyone!

Oh so Many Lights!
After watching 'Christmas Vacation' I found where the Griswolds live! So if you have been frantically looking for them you can breathe a sigh of relief and follow the glow of light to this...

A Surprise for Him
This weekend was Neal's birthday and I had a weekend full of surprises planned. Ok well only part of it was a surprise. On the 9th his birthday I made him lasagna rolls and salad for dinner and an almond cake per Neal's request for dessert and decorated in Vikings football colors.
Then on Monday I had one of our friends mention that we should get together and do dinner at Oklahoma Joes. But little did he know that we were meeting a bunch of friend and do dinner together then we had everyone over to our house and had cake (I told him I was making cup cakes for work so would not get suspicious on why I was making a ton of cup cakes). I do have to say that on the way over to Oklahoma Joes I was really glad that it was dark outside since I had an excited grin on my face. I think that he was totally surprised and did not suspect anything. Happy Birthday Neal!

Thanksgiving
This year Thanksgiving has such a different meaning to me this year. I am so very thankful for everyday that God has given me, for my amazingly wonderful husband and for all the people that God has had in our lives.
For our holiday weekend we were able to visit Neal's brother Luke, his wife, Elise and their kids and spend the long weekend with them in Minnesota. We were also able to see Neal's mom and we all got to enjoy an amazing Thanksgiving dinner (thanks Elise). It was so nice to be able to catch up with everyone and meet my new nephew, Boaz, for the first time. Ne-J and Vienna were like great long lost friends and were buds the whole weekend! On Black Friday we decided that shopping was just not worth it so we just bummed around, and the guys went and got a Christmas tree and then that night we helped decorate their home for Christmas. We also got to experience our first snow of the season. So now I am officially ready for the Christmas season.
Then on that Sunday we went to the Chiefs/ Bronco football game here in Kansas City. It was definitely not a pretty game but the Broncos won so we were happy with the outcome!

The Big ??
Oh, you though that I would reveal my age. Well you are wrong. A girl never reveals her age! For my birthday we just kept it low key. Neal took me out to dinner at Dodge City Distillery. Then when we got home he gave me my birthday/ anniversary gift. He got me a beautiful necklace. A heart, with one half rose gold and the other half white gold (these signify us) and cradled in the middle, a ruby signifying Gabrielle. Thank you honey for such a wonderful birthday I am so thankful to be able to celebrate another year of getting older with you.
