February Break

We had another wonderful February break.  As much I would love to say that we were overly productive this year, I just can't say that.  We were pretty lazy and it was magical. 

Claire and I watched a ton of shows about serial killers (I am absolutely thrilled that she not only shares my love of this stuff but that she is finally old enough to watch it with me)!

We did squeeze in a bit of skiing.  Although the conditions were terrible and the kids and I pretty much whined the whole time and Mark finally took us home.  

I enjoyed a great dinner to celebrate one of my favorites 50th birthday!

Oliver played some Fortnight.

Claire and Kathleen made "Friendship Bears" lol

We celebrated Greg's birthday.

Oliver had some fun skating with his cousins. 

Normally we squeeze in all kinds of trips to museums and day trips.  But this year the kids were pretty busy with their friends and sports, so it was tough. We did have fun grabbing dinners,  going out to breakfasts, snuggling up to watch movies, and just plain hanging out. It was a great break.  I am already looking forward to the next one!

Erie Tournament

 Last weekend Oliver had a hockey tournament in Erie so we packed up our stuff and headed out to support our favorite hockey player.

 These tough guys were ready to play!

 And the girls loved supporting them.

 These tournaments are so much more than just hockey.  These boys have so much fun playing together off the ice too.

 They all have fun in between games!

 Team Komo!

 My favorite player!

 Dinner after a long day and some mini sticks!

 Calling in some adult help.

 The ladies like to hang out on their own!

 It is such a great group of boys.  When Oliver couldn't reach the bottom for a picture, his buddy Brock immediately told him to hop up on his shoulders.  I love these boys.

 After braving it for one night we decided that Oliver needed his own special bed!

 Everyone was super cozy!

 The kids had a blast!  

 Samesies!

We had a blast!  I absolutely love watching Oliver play  hockey.  He works so hard and he truly loves it.  Then to see how much fun he has with his hockey buddies makes it even better.  It was a great weekend with some great memories!

101 Dalmations And Some Skiing

Oliver starred in Windom Elementary's presentation of 101 Dalmations!!!

He played a Chihuahua and he crushed it!!!

 Oliver and Sully!

He did a great job!  I love seeing him on stage!

 And last weekend we finally made it out skiing!

 Oliver loved catching up with his buddy Katie.

 I missed my ski buddies!

We always have so much fun!!!

January Fun

Although I vow every January to blog more, somehow this month got away from me!  So here are some highlights from our first month of 2020!

 We celebrated Carolyn's birthday by doing to Buffalo Gay Bingo!

 None of us won but we had a blast!

 And the entertainment was amazing!

 Oliver's team got his banner hung.

 Claire went on her first trip without us to Quebec!

 It was hard to see her go but she was so excited and they had sooo much fun!

 Oliver decided that he was going to read until he fell asleep every night.

 Then Claire came home!!  And all was right in the world.

 Mark drove Claire crazy.

 Mr. Hunter celebrated his 70th birthday!

 The kids all hung out at the Breezy Burrito!

 Oliver's team got to play on the Sabres' ice.

 He looked so good out there!

 The kids had a blast!

 I love watching this kid play!

 The Moms had a blast too!

 Then we all went to a Sabres game!

 Love these faces.

 Love these Mamas.

 My big guy in the locker room!

 Both teams played well, it was so fun!

 Claire and I fell in love with Baby Yoda.

 Mark realized that Oliver is getting a little too old to be picked up, but he did it anyway!

 I had my "Holiday Book Club" party with my ladies from work.

So that was January in a nutshell.  I have to say, it was a great way to start 2020!
