A Wedding, Two Birthdays, and the Holidays

December 30, 2018 By Katy

Whew!

That was a busy month.

I know that for most of us, December can be both a joy and a giant hassle (sorry, not sorry, Christmas).

Our family chucks in 2 out of 4 birthdays in December, too. Which has made me really good at throwing birthday parties during the holidays. It has also made me really good and tired.

This year we had a family wedding during the most wonderful time of the year, too.

Here are some highlights from our 31 crazy days of December.

A visit from Grandma and Grandpa

My parents started the month off with a visit from out west. They chose to come the weekend after Thanksgiving so we could attend the NFL game between the LA Rams and the Detroit Lions. (My dad used to play for the Rams).

Two Birthdays

Next up we celebrated my daughter’s birthday and my birthday, which are one day apart. My husband surprised us with a fancy dinner out this year. There is something magical about celebrating your birthday when the world is decorated for Christmas. There is also something magical when your kids behave in public at a fancy restaurant.Two birthdays - Experiencedbadmom.com

A Wedding

We piled into the car and drove 8 hours to my sister-in-law’s wedding. It was fun, festive time seeing two people in love commit to each other and celebrating with family and friends.A wedding - Experiencedbadmom.com

The Christmas Push

Shopping. Wrapping. Decorating. Baking. Christmas concerts at school. Secret Santa gifts at work and school. Holiday parties at work and school. Sound familiar?!

And lots of hockey, too.

A Holiday

Sweet, happy Christmas! Lots of love from above and in my own home surrounding me. A Wedding, Two Birthdays and the Holidays

The Week After

Seriously, I could have slept the whole week after the month I had. But, I got up everyday and ate lots of cheese and cookies. And then napped. So, it was good.

Happy New Year to you, dear readers! Thanks for coming along with me on the blog this past year. Here’s to a terrific 2019!

    And then, just like that, Christmas is a whole 362 days away. How did that happen?

    A very belated Happy Birthday to you, Katy. It looks like you had a splendid time. And how cool is it that you got to go to the game with your folks? Is that special or is it just normal for you as the daughter of a player?

    Today was the perfect day to read your cheery post. It’s pissing rain here, a monsoon in fact. Weather warnings all over the place. If it was snowing, we’d have inches of it. I feel sorry for the folks vacationing here. What mountains. Ah well, we both know they’re out there, right?

    Happy New Year! May it be a happy, healthy and worthy one for you and your family.

      Happy New Year to you, too!

      I have to say going to the game was special. My dad can get tickets, and he can get field privileges, but since he doesn’t live near us, this was a special event. It wasn’t even the Rams home game.

      I must say that the sideline was full of people. Who they were, I don’t know! So we must not be very special after all since there was a small city on the sideline.

      Send some of your snow our way. It’s nothing but gray and I hope the white stuff brightens it up for us. We’ve got a long way until spring around here.
