New Years Eve

John had to work nights so it was just the girls and I.

So we invited Molly and the kids to join us for a night of fun.

We started off with dinner at Swig.

Followed by jumping fun at Get Air

Then it was back to our house for hot tub, games, and slime.

Molly and I enjoyed some Rose

while the kids enjoyed some sparkling grape juice!

It was a super fun night and the girls slept until 10:30 this morning!

Too much partying for the Houghtaling Girls!

Our Staycation

The girls and I have been off work and school since December 21st.

It's been wonderful!

We've cleaned and purged. We changed furniture around.

We've stayed up late and slept late.

We've watched movies and caught of on Season 4 of Fuller House.

We've gone out to eat

We spent all of our tokens at Dave and Busters within 30 minutes

We've spent our Christmas money and gift cards

It's perfect!

Now we are back to work and school and extra curricular's.

Usually I'm ready but not this year. It's been wonderful.

Candle Making!

I had heard of this new place in Perrysburg where you could create your own candle, including choosing the scent.

Of course we invited Ella and Roz to join us!

We love our time together.

Ava chose a bubble gum scent and Addy chose hot cocoa with whipped cream.

But there was a candle there that smelled like baked bread. It made my mouth water, so yummy!

We had some time to kill before our candles were ready so we headed to a yummy lunch along with enjoying the little shops in Perrysburg. We followed up with coffee and went back to pick up the candles. Can't wait for our next adventure!

Christmas 2018

I can't believe how little pictures I took on Christmas. I still captured memories but none with our families.

John likes to display our cards on the pantry door.

I purchased a cookie kit for the girls to decorate. I'm not a baker and they would never turn out like this!

The girls did a great job decorating!

We went to visit Aunt Tammy and Aunt Emily at Miller's on Christmas Eve.

They were ringing the bell for Salvation Army.

We spent our evening at church for the most amazing service. It was a little long for the girls but they hung in there. I absolutely love this picture!

After church we headed home for pizza and taco salad with Uncle Nate while watching The Christmas Story. The girls set out their cookies and milk for Santa and then off to bed.

We allowed them to sleep on our floor because we have blackout curtains and thought we could get more sleep out of them. Well, they called the bluff. Ava woke me up at 3:30. I made her go back to bed and she woke up again at 6 and they I made her snuggle in bed until 6:30.
