New Year's Weekend Recap

Happy Monday and Happy New Year's Day to all! We had a pretty laid back New Year's Eve, toddler style, so I thought it would be fun to just do one big New Year's weekend recap to start off 2018!


After spending several days winding down and being lazy to our hearts content (well, as lazy as a 3 year old will let you be), we started out our weekend with a trip downtown to Mobius while Kevin went and saw a movie. We spent a good 2 hours getting all of our energy out and it was the perfect time to go, before the crowds from the day hit. Lincoln and I had a ton of fun building a life-size Lincoln Log fort and it was definitely the hit of the trip!



That evening, we came home and Kevin and Lincoln got started on a little project we have planned for baby boy number two's nursery! Ready or not this new babe is coming in 10 weeks or less and we have a lot of work to do on his nursery.



Sunday was New Year's Eve! We spent all morning getting ready to have a fresh start on New Year's day. We took down all of our Christmas decor, did tons of laundry, including all of our sheets, etc. and did a major sweep of the entire house. It felt good to know we'd be starting off 2018 with a clean and organized house (and if you haven't guessed by now, I am most definitely Type A ;0p).


While Lincoln went down for a nap Saturday afternoon, we prepped for our mini at home NYE Bash! My girlfriend Amy came into town to spend New Year's Eve with us and we had hats, necklaces, noisemakers and lots of apps to share amongst the 4 of us! We popped the sparkling cider for Lincoln and myself (#preggoproblems) and Amy and Kevin sipped on some adult friendly beverages throughout the evening.



We did the Netflix New Year's Eve Countdown for Lincoln just before 8 PM (God Bless Netflix NYE countdowns) and after he went down, watched the movie New Year's Eve from 2012 (seemed fitting for the night) and got ready to watch the ball drop and cheer's to a New Year! Almost immediately after, we all crashed and went to bed.



Monday morning, Lincoln had us up bright and early per usual and we made homemade Belgian Waffles with homemade whip cream and bacon with a bunch of fun toppings (sprinkles, berries, chocolate chips, etc.) to start the New Year's off right! We spent the rest of the day lounging around and prepping to go back to work for the week (I could use 10 more days off in case anyone was wondering).


Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's! Cheers to 2018 and all that this year brings!
