That is a lot of Cousins!!!

We decided this year to take a picture of all the cousins! On my mom's side there are 28 (including spouses and children) and two more on the way! On my dad's side there are 32 (although we were missing 11 for the picture which was probably good because I don't think we could all fit in one) and one more on the way (which we just found out about on Christmas Eve). Let me tell you Christmas with my family is NUTS! I think you can tell from the pics, especially the fact that everyone is looking different directions in both pictures. But it was a lot of fun! I can't believe Christmas is over. That is kinda sad, although we haven't had Christmas with my immediate family yet. We are getting together on Saturday. Just my mom, dad, my siblings and of course husband and boyfriends and Colton!!! That should be fun, the guys are going to order the UFC fight and the girls are going to play board games. I can't wait. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and hope the New Year brings lots of happiness.

Merry Christmas!

I can't believe Christmas is only 3 days away! It came so fast. I am looking foward to the next couple days. Tomorrow we are going to my cousins for Christmas with my mom's side. Sunday we are going to Frankie's brothers for Christmas Eve. And on Monday we are traveling to the farm, for Christmas at Grandma's on my dad's side. It is going to be a lot of time in the car but I am still looking forward to it. Most of my family has not seen Colton yet, so that is going to make it even more fun. Colton gets to finally meet the rest of his crazy family. Anyways, I just wanted to wish everyone a Safe and Merry Christmas!

Crazy Week... again!

I love this time of year, but it seems like there is always too much to do and not enough time. Although I must say this is the first year ever that I have all my shopping done before Christmas Eve! I am so proud of myself; everyone's presents are bought and wrapped!!

We have been very busy again this week. For starts my brother's basketball season has started and we don't miss a game! So every Tuesday and Friday night we are cheering him on. Colton loves going to the games, he is mesmorized by all the movement and loud noises. Tonight we are off to Maple Grove to watch him play!

Last Sunday we spent all day baking Christmas cookies and candies! It was a blast. We went to Frankie's moms house, and his brother and his family were there as well. We had so much fun, and now we have enough sweets in the house to last us until Easter! Well unless my brother comes over then they will only last a few hours.

Colton is 6 months old on Saturday, which of course means doctor appointments again. Yup we went to the doctor on Wednesday. He weighs 20 pounds 7 ounces and is 29" long. He is the 90th percentile for boys his age... not too bad if you ask me! He of course had to get shots again, and for about 30 seconds I was his worst enemy but he got over that pretty quick. We had pictures taken again, his 6 month pics. They turned out so cute. This time we did family ones as well and they are awesome. All three of us wore Viking Jersey (no surprise right!), and they turned out so good. We also did singles of Colton in his jersey and we did some Christmas/Winter pics of him in a little snowman sweater vest. I get to go pick them up today, although we have already seem them becuase they are all digital and you get to see your pics about 15 minutes after you sitting.

Last night I went to a dinner theater with my mom, my sister and some of my mom's girlfriends. And it was a blast! We saw "A Don't Hug me Christmas Carol". It is a Minneasota-Hill-Billy version of the Christmas Carol, and let me tell you by the end of the show my jaw hurt from laughing! It was awesome. It was at the Hudson House in Hudson, WI. It is a very small little theather. Only seats about 100, maybe 150! I think we are actually planning on going again. I think Frankie would love it. We are going to try to get tickets to go on Thursday Dec 28th. If anyone is interested in going with us I can send you the info. Tickets are $45 but that includes dinner.

Other than all of that not much is new. I am still searching for a job, and I think I may finally be on the right track. I am trying to get a job where my mom works. They are hiring for a full time Administrative Assistant, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

White Christmas

I saw White Christmas last night at the Ordway in St Paul. And it was amazing. I am still in awe over how amazing the dancing and singing was as well as the sets. It was unbelievable. The best part of the entire show was the end. Of course they end the show with the whole cast singing White Christmas, and before you know they had snow falling from the ceiling all the over the audience. It was amazing, of course it wasn't real snow if some of you were wondering, but it was the coolest thing I have seen in a long long time! If anyone was thinking of going, but decided not too becuase of money, I would say that it is totally worth the money. I have never been to a show like this and I can honestly say I am hooked. I wish I was rich so I could afford to go to more shows like this. I am really considering getting tickets to see Chicago if anyone would be interested. I believe the show comes here in February and stays until the beginning of April. If anyone is interested I will look into prices and availability.
