Feeling Lucky

We had a great weekend with our family!

Friday night, Ryan was exhausted from a long week at work and SJ not sleeping at night.  I don't think Ryan got off the couch after he got home from work Friday night- I'm so thankful for the long hours he puts in at work and then the longer hours he puts in being a dad/husband at home. 
My parents stopped by after the kids were in bed with a book for John, Planes.  Boy, does he love Airplanes! John was very excited Saturday morning to wake up to a new book!  John and Ryan read the book at least 20 times before lunch on Saturday! :)  My dad helped us set up our thermostat.  It was set too high so we needed good ol' Grandpa to figure it all out, once and for all!  Thanks Dad!!

I got to go to a special friend of mine's baby shower on Saturday too.  Sarah and Doug Richter are welcoming their first baby in January.  We are ecstatic for them!  What wonderful parents they will be-  Sarah is my dear friend, Katherine Olson's sister. This baby will bring their family so much joy and peace-  XO to you, Doug and Sarah!
Ryan and I had Kristine and Owen over on Saturday night for dinner.  It was SO fun to have friends over at our house!!  We had dinner, (the boys had) a few brews, Peanut Butter Cup cheesecake, and played some cheesy games! :D  We love having friends over, that way the boys could go to sleep in their own beds and be tucked in by mom and dad. 

On Sunday, we had a delicious family breakfast and lunch.  We just relaxed and hung out playing trains and reading books in the morning.  After lunch, we took a family trip to Post Road.  You guessed it!  Airplanes!!  We wanted to take Ryan with so he could see how excited John gets.

Our Godson is 5 years old today!!  WOW!  We are very excited to see him on Wednesday!  We love you Godson Mark!
