Annual Holiday Dinner

I can't believe we are one week away from Christmas!! It doesn't seem possible with the temps in the 40's and no snow! I know a lot of people love not having snow and while this weather is beautiful...it's beautiful for fall...not Christmas! I love the snow (just not the cold) and wouldn't mind a White Christmas, but I won't complain! :)

This past week was busy and fun! Luke was on the road Monday night, so Bishop and I hung out together. My new manager, Brent, came into town to work with me on Tuesday, so I had a busy day planned for Tuesday and it went fast. I was fortunate enough that Luke got back into town in time for me to join some friends for Girls Night out at Crave at WestEnd. It's always nice to catch up with friends and have a relaxing night out! It was a smaller group this week--Jadee, myself, Jenny and Gina.

Bishop had his second haircut on Thursday night and he did awesome! He didn't shed a tear and it went great!! He was curious and a little skeptical at first, but for the most part he sat still and it well (100% better than his first haircut) and of course he's a handsome little man now! :) Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures!

Friday, Shelly, Ryan, Madelyn and my parents all stopped by for a bit in the evening. It was so fun to see them and we got a great pictures of the cousins! They love each other so much and Bishop loves sharing everything with Madelyn! It makes me even more excited for Sisbro!

I love this picture!!

That evening we met the Hennum's out for dinner, which was a lot of fun!

Saturday we drove to Cold Spring to drop Bishop off for the night. It was his first sleepover there without mom and dad and he had a great time. He was a little hesitant and clingy at first--and he was sad to see us leave, but once we were out of sight, he took full advantage of playing with Grandpa and Grandma Froehle!

We had our annual Holiday Dinner Saturday night with Luke's friends from college! We went to Raul's restaurant in St Louis Park (Woodfire Grill) and had a great time. We hosted people at our house after dinner, so it was a much later night than I"m used to, but it was fun. There were a few who spent the night and this morning was a blast--I laughed and laughed and laughed, it was fun telling stories and hanging out!

Rich and Eileen brought Bishop back home today and it's so nice having him home. I really missed him last night! We stopped by Luke's aunt and uncle's, Larry and Kathleen's, to see his Uncle Bob from Alaska!

These pictures are from Toys for Trees when Bishop visited Santa (Coldwell Banker sent us the pictures), from a couple of weeks ago

We are now on to Christmas! I am so excited to watch Bishop experience Christmas this year--and of course to spend time with our families!
