A Good Read

I read this book this weekend and fell in love with it. It's kind of 'Gone With the Wind' meets 'True Grit' and has the sweetest love story. It was a good read and I would definitely recommend it.

Christmas Happenings

We spent Christmas Eve and day with the Merrell's this year and it was a pretty low-key- chill Christmas.

Chelsie and her kids were here from Italy for the month of December (and part of January) so it was fun to have the Christmas magic in the house again. Her kids were very excited for Santa to come.

Mike and I decided to buy each other presents this year, which was super fun for me. In the past, we have had a $5 limit which had forced us to get super creative. It was fun to get sneaky with each other's presents and we both had a lot of surprises for each other.

Mike got some awesome work boots which he wore around all morning... check out that get-up! He was kind enough to model them for me.

On Christmas Day, we started a puzzle which was just barely completed a week ago (In January). It was WAY hard. 

We are serious about our puzzles

The next day, we went to the Berry's for some delicious breakfast and to celebrate Rob's birthday. I was able to take the day off of work which was so nice! I was able to spend that day with people I love and was even able to take a nap! It was glorious! I love Christmas time.
