NYE wedding fun

We spent our NYE out on the town celebrating Colin and Taylor!!

We spent the night in Oconomowoc and took the shuttle responsibly to and from the venue in Wales. 

Such a lovely and fun night with family. 

that's a wrap

Wrapped up Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Bremberger one day, and Karen and Doug the next. Just before New Years Eve!! Always a little something for everyone. 

Winter break

More hockey over winter break...

Badger hockey game with some friends...3v3 tournament for Rowan!

More Christmas fun

Smith Christmas at Nana and Papa's!

Nice day so kids could get outside a little, but otherwise normal shenanigans of nerf wars, gifts, lots of food, games, dogs, etc. And my 14 year old nephew is almost as tall as me - eek. Always fun getting the family together. 

We had to take a break from the action for Rowan's game - where she showed up with a hat-trick. 

Hudson even joined Rowan and Eddie on the ice the next day. 

Never enough ice time.  

Christmas in Green Bay!

Started the morning opening a few gifts - then we were on the road to spend the day in Green Bay. We did the sledding hill, skated, had lunch outside, and then bundled up to head into the Packer game. 

Weather was balmy and great during the day, but once the sun went down, it started to get a bit chilly. But it could have been so much worse. Was a great game and experience for all. 

Week before Xmas

Winter in WI, complete with some last minute Christmas crafts for Rowan and friends. 

Ice Time (PeeWee Superseries in Michigan...

pups in jammies and bows. 

Gingerbread house competition - A ended up with the win this year. 

Kids opened up a gift Christmas Eve morning so they knew what Christmas Day would hold....

1st Packer game for the two of them!!

Then we spent the afternoon evening with the Knutson family. 

Lots of laughs and fun with the family. Complete with Cricut Christmas crews of the women's choice. 

Some snapchat filters...cute kiddos, food, gifts and more. 

heat wave

Another week, and the rink is melted and full of leaves. How rude!

I have been busy creating a few Christmas gifts. 

Piper has been busy watching me work. 

We were able to catch Blakes Christmas program at church - cute littles singing away. Luke was awful relaxed as a result of the singing. 

Another weekend at an amazing rink for Ed and the boys. 

Eddie asked me to make a cup with this saying - 'don't mess with mamasauraus, or you'll get jurasskicked' - turned out great. 

Hockey pictures are in, wrong number and all. They had one jersey for all of the girls to wear and could get rid of the number apparently. 

projects and besties

Barn doors are up in the basement

Piper is loving her new Nana creation!

Eddies buddies get drug to Rowan's game if they want to come hang out. 

Rowan had a hat trick in her game today! 

Cricut ornaments for both teams - turned out cute. 

Eddie took another trip to the box. Keeping things exciting - so long as it doesn't cost us the game. 

rink and MI

Lots of things accomplished this week. 

Barn doors have arrived for basement theater room!

Boys had a successful weekend in MI playing at an awesome college rink. 

More ice time for Row - got the tree up. Some outside winter decor. 

Oh..and the Rink is up and ready. Kids already took advantage. 

tourney time

Winter art - I recreated a super cute ceramic mug by adding a festive vinyl saying. 

These will be gifted this season for my team at Humana. Piper was unphased by my art and napped right through in her winter jammies. 

Rowan and the Valkyries had their first tournament of the season in Appleton. 

They came away with second place. 

We were busy watching Eddie's game from the hotel - but as you can see, I lost Rowan early on. 

Team did some bowling in between. We had some fried food. 

Thanksgiving and more

We had a low key Thanksgiving at home this week. Nana and Papa joined us for Turkey and Ham and more. We even had enough for leftovers the next day. Glorious club sandwiches. 

Christmas shopping is well under way. 

We were able to make it to a high school hockey game - Eddie was in his element with some hockey friends cheering on the older boys. 

Rowan was chosen as a co-captain for the team - sporting the C for the season. 

We finally have an outlet in the floor upstairs so we can get rid of extension cords. 

And I was able to get a picture of the kids and Piper for our Christmas cards. 

All in all a successful week!
