I'm behind in my blogging (really, what else is new??)... It's already the middle of December and almost CHRISTMAS--that, I can't even believe... The month of December started off with a much needed weekend away with my husband in Crosslake, Minnesota at a cute little lodge resort. I say it was much needed because of many reasons but mainly because life gets crazy, our jobs get crazy, our son IS crazy, (well, sometimes!), and because probably just like every other couple in the world, sometimes we just don't get to connect and have uninterrupted time alone, together. So we went, we shopped, we ate (lots), we toured the brainerd area, and we took naps.... Ahhhh wonderful :)
Then as always, it was back to real life in Darwin for the Johnsons! (Which, by that time, we were more than ready to be back home to our little monster known as Ryder) Since then we have stayed busy... Last week we took Ryder to the Holidazzle Parade and to the Macy's 8th Floor Display - A Day in the Life of an Elf :) He loved every minute of the parade and was more than excited to have a little chit chat with Santa at Macy's... He was a little dissapointed after we left Santa and I couldn't figure out why, but then I realized that he actually thought that Santa GIVES you the toy you tell him you want right then and there... Ooops! Nice going mom, didn't explain that one very well! Haha...It was nothing a big sugar cookie couldn't fix, and that is exactly what we did --grabbed some delicious cookies and headed home for the night! As for this week, it has honestly been a blur. Things have really picked up at work and I am COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS until Christmas vacation where I will have some time off! This weekend will be another busy one with college graduation parties of good friends, last minute Christmas baking, and Max's birthday is coming up on Monday! :) The big 2-6.....(What an old man!) I am also ecstatic to say that my best friend is coming home to visit from Florida next week (hope you bring your Uggs, my friend--no sandals needed here! Brrrr)
Overall, we have stayed busy this month, which is probably a good thing as we have had plenty of ups and downs to deal with lately. We are fortunate to have the amazing support of our family, our friends, and eachother to help get us through each and every obstacle that life throws at us...Patience is a virtue that I have yet to master, but I am slowly learning to take things as they come, one day at a time.
