Monday Donuts

Almost every Monday morning I take my nephew Mitchell to breakfast at the donut shop in my hometown! I look forward to it all week long! He is the funniest little man ever, I just crack up at everything he says. I hope we can continue our Monday tradition for many years to come!

Salon Christmas Party

Christmas party was at McGurks in Soulard this year. Such a fun and awesome place in the city where they have live Irish bands every night! Food was great and the company was even better! So blessed to have awesome coworkers, I love my job!!

Cadillac

Christmas came early on my side this year. Luckily Brad and Roo were able to make it home from California! Thursday night mom made her annual "red" dinner, it's our family tradition on Christmas Eve. Mom's spaghetti is absolutely the best, and I'm not biased, my husband thinks so too! We all ate too much and then opened lots of presents, we are all blessed! Brian and I went in together with Brad and Roo and got Mitch and Jack a car for Christmas! This is Mitch the next day thoroughly enjoying his present! He is possibly jamming out to the AM/FM radio, no big deal!

Movie Night

Movie night on Andi's last night home with us. We are missing Jack in the picture because he had to go to bed. We let Mitch pick out the movie, "Mars need Moms". He got pretty scared during and sat between Andrea and I so we could keep him safe! So much fun to be with my sisters and neice and nephew and cuddle on the couch.

Fall Festival

Today we went to the Old Town Florissant Fall Festival with my parents. We have been looking forward to this for a while, and knew it would be such a fun day. The fair was down one of the main streets in Old Town which is only a few blocks from our home. We walked through booth after booth of homemade crafts, jewelry, and fall decor. We tasted lots of yummy food from local vendors and even walked through a chili contest and voted for our favorite. There were live bands throughout the street as well, my momma and I even stopped at one point to polka with some other folks. So blessed to have wonderful parents and role models for my husband and I.

California. Oh how I miss you. I miss the warm sun on my face and the cool breeze of the ocean. I miss my sister. I miss the feeling of every single person in my family being in one house, breakfast together every morning, and dinner every night. I love my family. I cherish the moments we can all be together. It is my favorite.
