Holiday Weekend!!!

This past weekend, I cut myself off from everything electronic.
No Internet, or e-mail, no phone calls (except for arranging family time).
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, all family! It was great.
It was loads of fun, but I was overwhelmed, but in a good way. haha. At times I didn't think I would be able to keep myself together, I have never cooked, baked, and cleaned so much in my life. Kids are soo messy, haha, but I really had fun.
I guess had a taste of what parenting is like, for 36 hours.
It was healthy for me, I feel good about it, very happy and very satisfied.
I love my family so much. Here are some photos from this weekend :-)


Gabbie (niece), Me, Breanna (cousin), all dressed up and ready to go to the Nutcracker

Dressing up is a rare occasion, I savored every moment!
Brandon, my handsome nephew
Look at those nerds
Killean (nephew), my little ham.
3:00am Saturday morning, I went to bed, they stayed up till 6. I am getting old.
This is how serious as we can get. And this is how silly we can get!
Obviously, a tree, trimmed by the Strantz/Silk/Johnson family (it was a disaster haha, but I fixed it.)


Homemade presents
burnt cookies
Majestica! The Sea Monkey King.

Well, I think maybe some day, I will be a mom, but until then, I am enjoying being the Aunt, Cousin and Big Sister.
