and then everyone got a terrible head cold that Libby had started with on Christmas Eve, wah wah. There were no fevers....yet....so Nana & Grandpa still came to celebrate Christmas!
Watching for Nana & Grandpa's car to pull around the corner. This picture is not staged, they did this on their own
They're here! If you look closely you can see all 4 C-Mile Sibs watching through the front door
We took advantage of the Grandparents and took Libby out on her Month Kid Date. Since it was her birthday month is was a two on one. So glad she was finally feeling well enough to venture out and eat. Love this girl's simplicity. She wanted an Arby's roast beef sandwich, Fro-Yo, and a quick swing at the park (a true Minnesotan!! during 10 below zero weather). Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, a lot of Mommy's favorites too!
Was so great to give her our undivided attention!
Silly faces!
Such a sweet sweet girl with a big big heart!
Such a good dad!
She may have taken this request back if she knew she'd be coughing for 30 minutes after coming inside...oh well, memories made!
One present for each in the morning. Emma was excited about her new snowglobe!
Making Olaf cookies with Nana!
Sillies with Daddy
School is in session!
Listen up!
Present time! (sidenote: Mama's getting old, she now needs glasses. I kind of love them!! I can where them all the time or none of the time, but should when I'm driving and when I'm reading. PSA if you need glasses get them at Costco!!)
Digging right in!
Christmas stories, thanks Nana and Grandpa
New click click shoes and Crown!
Magic Show time
Intermission: Emma sings along to Sally's harmonica playing
Silly goose. Thanks for making the trip down, Nana and Grandpa, sorry if we passed on any germs!! It was fun making memories with you!
Watching the Vikings clinch the #2 seed. Is it too good to be true?
Viking Fan! Love his little hands

Record cold temps. Highs of 6 below zero, getting as cold as 25 below, but feels something like 35 below??? Trying out the boiling water to ice??

Reflecting on another wonderful year. 2017, the year we welcomed Mason James into the Craigmile Crew! It's as if he's been here all along! My top 9 Instagram photos
Wouldn't it be great if this was everyone's New Year's goal? What a world it would be for our children's children
We typically get together with the Martinson Family for New Year's Eve. We went back and forth, the both of us. Should they come, should they not. All the germs all the who knows what. We ended up staying separate. I had told her if I was her and she was me, I would want her to tell me to stay away, you don't want all the germs we've had and are yet to come. We made the right call, New Year's Day Emma woke up with the fever that Libby had had 7 days prior and then the next day had the stomach bug too. But before that hit, we did sneak out for a family New Year's Eve dinner at Culvers
When I see a picture of us, I understand why we get so many looks when we go out. I'd watch Us too :) It's a busy stage, but a fun stage. Love our Crew!
Ordering their ice cream
Happy New Year from the Craigmile Crew!
Thankful & Grateful for all that we are and all that we have and that includes you!
Still young at heart! Enjoying some Champagne and playing a little Mario Cart, we didn't make it to Midnight, those days will be back soon enough, when we're out and about and not having some many Littles that depend on our help with all of the needs.
We had a funny conversation exchange while playing Mario Cart. A car drove by and Reid said they probably saw through the window we were playing Mario Cart. I responded with, they probably thought, "Oh, I didn't know they had teenagers in the house?!"
:) Nope, just a couple of 30 something parents, acting like kids :)
Cheers to a wonderful year, and EVEN year :)
We started the New Year off with a family rosary!
Mama got to sneak away to have lunch with Kari, since we didn't get to see each other on New Year's Eve. Daddy did a fun little project with the Bigs while I was away
Hours left of Christmas break...was definitely bittersweet. Was sad to have them go back after break seemed like a bit of a flop with sickness getting passed around and keeping us laying low. But, also grateful that that's the most of our worries. They were excited to get back to see friends and I am excited to get back in to a routine :)
Kicking it off right with every Mother's dream, grocery delivery. Anything to not have to pack up Mason and Emma in the freezing cold to get groceries. A service that I often think is too good to be true!
