An Order of Snow Please

I have had a busy past couple of days and missed out on my blogging. I love this time of year! However, I wish we had snow on the ground! We normally do already this time of year. We have had 3 snows this winter so far but none of the snow has stayed. In fact, the past couple of days have been full of rain. Eek. I prefer my rain in the Spring (hehe). I know a lot of people prefer to have no snow though. I'm such a Northern girl though and I live for the snowy winters where staying inside under warm blankets watching movies and drinking hot cocoa is what I look forward to. I understand and do agree though, driving in snow isn't always fun (unless of course, you're my husband). In that case, he'll give you quite the experience haha. 

Today I received an awesome Christmas present from the wonderful husband of mine. I was so thrilled and I am still excited about it haha. Most have said, isn't it a little early? My response is no. My last camera crashed a year ago so I have been using my iPod for my pictures and lets face it, it doesn't have the most amazing quality. Now I can share more of our life in pictures with everyone. And of course, on my blog! I also love to edit pictures. Is it obvious? I'm so excited for Christmas. Every year I feel like a kid again come Christmas. It's not because of the gifts but because of the feeling it has given me since I can't remember. I often notice that Christmas isn't what it used to be to a number of the population today. You see so much about people taking Christ out of Christmas but without that, it's just Christmas. Bothering, don't you agree? Okay, I'll admit that I am getting rather excited. Oops!

I spend everyday with the most amazing little boy ever. He's growing so fast. I'm sure I said it in the last post but I think it's a common phrase every parent uses. It's so true though! Braedyn has recently learned the art of tantrums. I have been told by a nurse specializing in children that its a learned action. Oh joy! We are doing pretty well at correcting them so far though and I am hoping to continue the progress. Daddy seems to think Braedyn is my sidekick haha and I guess you could say he is. He's definitely with me all the time and I really don't mind it. 

Tonight, we introduced some wonderful friends (a part of our Nebraska family) to our favorite restaurant here. Its German cuisine and it's called Zum Biergarten. The food their is amazing and you get your money's worth. I have always left there with leftovers lol. They normally last me a couple days haha. I ate the Jaeger Schnitzel and mashed potatoes with brown mushroom gravy. Their "side" salad is far different than most would expect too. It's probably the best salad ever. I could eat their food all day everyday! Whether you like German food or not though all depends on what you like to eat. But, they're cuisine is my favorite hands down. 

Well, I am finally feeling tired enough to hopefully fall asleep. Yay! Hot tea with a tad bit of sugar and some lactose free milk helps me wind down a bit. The song Braedyn and I sing about Dreamland every night goes a little like this "Here we go, go, go on an adventure..." We sing it in the tune of Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That! Hehe. Okay, gute nacht to all! I hope you all get a wonderful night of sleep!

"Here. Have some milk with that yawn!"
