Back to Reality

Well, break is over, so I guess it is time for us all to go back to reality. Riley and I have enjoyed the last 2 weeks of vacation and Mike the last week. Here is a little bit of how we finished off the holidays...

New Year's Eve Riley stayed over at Grammy and Papa's and Mike and I went out for dinner and drinks with some friends. We were back to their house before midnight and rang in the new year with champagne and Mom and Dad. It was nice and relaxing. We stayed over and spent New Year's day with them and Nana and Papa T. It was nice to hang out and watch Iowa win...GO HAWKEYES!!

Friday was yet another busy day. I have been hounding Mike for the past few years to take me to see Wicked. On Christmas Day, he surprised me with 7th row seats!!!! I was super excited. Riley got to spend some quality time with Granny and Papa Dan and Mike and I had a real date....I think it has been a while since we had so many hours to ourselves. The play was awesome!!! For any of you who have not seen it, I urge you to try and go before it leaves Chicago at the end of the month. Even Mike, who was not too excited, loved it. He even said he would go again. We finished off our day with dinner and a movie. What a great day it was!

Saturday was not too busy. We got a DVR...I am super excited and had a nice dinner with Granny and Papa Dan. It was great to have time together.

Today nothing exciting.....just getting ready to all go back to reality. Hope everyone had as great of holidays as we did! Thanks to all of you for being a part of our lives.
