Well, as usual, I waited to post until life slowed down...its been a crazy busy week with family-filled fun! Tuesday was a night of games with my family and Alyssa's friend from school. We ate dinner and watched the Vikings win on "Tuesday Night Football." Wednesday was errand running and sledding with the boys. Ty went, and I stayed home. Thursday was another trip to the Mall of America with Brooke, Annie and Leslie. We had a good time. When we returned more fun! It was girls night!
Hannah and Heather and I went to listen to Anna and Julia Johnson play at the Living Room Coffee shop in Eau Claire, WI. Anna has been a friend since I was in 4th grade and comes home from Nashville (where she is pursuing a music career) and plays a few shows. All the girls got together to hear her sing and then we all went to Hannah's house for food and girl talk time.

New Years Eve brought more excitement playing games at Brooke(Ty's sister) and Matt's house. We played a new game that we were given for Christmas. Brittany and Eric are all about the strategy games and thought we would like a new one called Ticket to Ride Europe. That took a little more than an hour and then we played to rounds of Mad Gab...Hilarious! With icy roads we decided to head home a little early and get some rest.
New Years Day, we were off to Minneapolis to meet my parents and Taylor and Alyssa for a last hoorah before the break was over for mom and Alyssa! We went the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. After spending an hour listening to grumbling tummies, it was time to find food. We drove over to Dinky Town and ate at Annie's Parlor. My parents had eaten at when they were in college. Since Tay was leaving from there to Mankato, we decided to get one more sister Picture...It took a little while to get a good one...

| Finally! |
After driving home, we had to play ONE MORE game of Ticket to Ride Europe with my parents and Alyssa. What a great time...Ty and Lyss were so close, but Ty won. Overall it has been a busy week, but the next few will be incredibly boring, so I guess it was nice to be busy for a little while. Now I am off to Milwaukee to take Alyssa to school. Then we'll have a little sister party with Brittany and a sleep over in Alyssa's dorm!
