I love it and it keeps our very small counter clear of the little things.

Tiger Scouts at the Wolves Game

A earned a free ticket to the Chicago Wolves Game for popcorn sales this past fall.  So we got the enjoy a night as a family with others from his pack who earned tickets also. 
This was our kids first time at a hockey game.  They played the Rockford Ice Hogs.  And well they lost....  oh well we had a very good time. 
 

M had so much fun cheering!

~31~

I celebrated my 31st birthday on Jan 26th. It is still weird to me that I could be in my 30's.  I thought I would feel grown up...... Ha!  :)
~31~ and yes M is eyeballing the crown!  :)
 
The Cellar Bistro
K took a half-day from work so we could spend some time together.  (He has school on Thursday nights)  So he planned a Lunch at The Cellar Bistro.  It had very good food and nice atmosphere.  Afterwards we went to the Caribou near by to have Dessert....  :)  The kids sang Happy Birthday to me over my coffee.  :)
~It was a wonderful day with the people I love most!  Oh & see the earrings I have on in the picture above?  Those were my gifts.  ♥ I am very blessed.  ~

A New Year


"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."   Einstein

It's a New Year, time for a fresh start!  The end of this past year we had a lot of ups and downs.  Deaths in the family, sickness, surgeries of loved ones.  I am starting my 31st year.  And the past 20 years I have made a lot of really bad decisions.  Well this year it is time for us to change that!  This year we are going to live simpler, pray more, give more, seek HIM! We are getting healthy from the inside out.  Spiritualy healthy as well as physically healthy! 

Christmas Decorating 2011

We decorated pretty simply this year!  It was a strange feeling Christmas season as we didn't have any snow pretty much the whole month of December!  
Lots of candles

Up Close:  I just love the color theme this year!

All aglow!
