Christmas in GA and MN!

Happy New Year!  We hope your holidays were great!  I know I say it every year but - November and December seem to go by so fast!

We celebrated Christmas with the Slagles the week before while we were still in town.  We enjoyed opening gifts and eating Linda's famous lasagna.  Connor seemed to really enjoy opening up the presents... and playing with each one after it was opened - what a time consuming process! :)

On Monday, we headed up to Minnesota to spend Christmas with Pop Pop, Grandma Cathy, GGMa, Uncle David, Aunt CB, and Chad!  Oh and how can I forget Connor's favorite furry friends - Colby, Nellie, and Harley!  While in MN, we got to see some old high school friends, baked tons of Christmas cookies, visited Santa downtown Minneapolis at the Macy's 8th Floor Santaland, explored some local breweries, spent time with GGMa, and headed up to Lake Vermillion for some cabin-time.  Unfortunately, there wasn't more than a few inches of snow but we were able to go out on the iced over lake and Connor seemed to really enjoy his short ride on the snowmobile with Pop Pop!

In Minnesota, Connor continued his latest obsession with "lights"... he refuses to go into a room until you turn the light on.  He continues to be a bit of a picky eater - but thankfully I rediscovered those fruit and veggies pouches - since that's the only way he will consume them!

We came back from MN to Connor having a double ear infection and Mattie having an ear infection as well - how fun!  This week has involved getting those 2 feeling better and working on home improvement projects when Keith has been off.  Up next: re-doing the master closets and painting/framing the mirror of the master bath!  Pics to come :)
