We spent New Year’s Eve day sledding up by the pass and then dinner at my parent’s house . The kids are still getting over being sick but we just had to get out of the house. We had a wonderful time even if Zelie was irritated that we dragged her into the cold to play with the wet white stuff, haha!
Caidoc is still talking about “snowball fights with Lindsey” my sweet friend who joined us for the drive up and helped out with the kids. I’m so glad we got to play in the snow at least a little, since it’s doubtful we will see anymore around our house this year.
Husband and I almost were up till midnight but were just too tired to last till the bitter end. I think most parents would rather welcome a new year well rested than tired (again) anyways, am I right? 😜 
The next day we sat down for a few minutes and really went over our big goals for the next five years which include two big trips, growing our small business, and improving our nest egg. I’m so grateful I have a spouse who loves to plan as much as I do. Part of our planning always includes budgeting, and while very necessary, it can be discouraging to rake over the finances after the holidays (and here I thought we planned so well this year, but there are always surprises, eh?). We had a wonderful holiday season filled with lots of fun which I wouldn’t take back, but it is always helpful to look at what we can improve on- all in the spirit of resolutions!
Together hubs and I have made a game plan in order to achieve our pretty lofty goals in the next several years and I’m confident we can get there. I’m so blessed that I have such a solid partner in crime, best friend, and confidant that I can dream big dreams with.
I hope you all had a Happy New Year celebration- cheers!
