Week 6 in Review: Happy New Year and Small Vacation

Welcome to 2016, Rollie! You were hardly apart of 2015 but this was your year of coming to be, little one. All the stretch marks and aches were all worth it. To commemorate the new year we went to my mom's place in the Dells to get away without spending mucho money. Having a kiddo takes a lil bit of fun out of being a grown-up but I wouldn't think to spend a holiday without him. We partook in the New Year in our own way and drank a celebratory drink to ring in 10pm on December 31 (We didn't make it to midnight, oops)

New Year's Day was done by lounging around as a family of three and going to my ultimate fave restaurant, High Rock, in Wis Dells. I forgot how tasty that place is. This was Rollie's first time being out in public... he did perfect and did not make a peep.

We had such a nice weekend being off the grid from reality and just enjoying time away from home to relax and be three.

Rollie loves time with daddio.

On Sunday, we left to go visit my mom in Milwaukee and pawn our kiddo off to have a date. We went to Sprecher's Brewery in Glendale. The brewery itself was a little aged but the experience was quite nice. The beer wasn't our favorite but the sodas are out of this world. I did find a citrus/summer ale that I will be purchasing for a beach day. It was so fun to rekindle our memories before Rollie but we found ourselves talking about Rollie more than anything else. It is so evident that he is our world and the center of our lives.

On Sunday morning, we left early to get to Chicago to drop Rollie off again but this time to Nathan and Kelly's place. We were on our way to the Bears game that I purchased for Christmas to give to Caleb. Caleb was super bummed that while we lived in Chicago we didn't go to a game so I made it a priority to find a great deal to surprise him. BEFORE we went to the game we stopped by Baker & Nosh near our old place to eat oh but the best bakery items and I was able to sip on some Kilogram Chai. MY FAVE!

 We arrived at the stadium 10 minutes before the game started and took the bus system (for old times sake, of course). The game was not sold out but there were sure a lot of people for it being so cold. 19 degrees was the high temperature for the day and we be cold, folks. Being the temperature, we splurged our funds and bought a hot cocoa. WORTH IT!

All in all, Rollie was the best kid for another week. His opinion on our love and affection for him:

We just love him so much.
