Agg. All the feels…Axel my first born. My beautiful blue eyed baby. I’m so proud of you. Here you are - entering the next giant chapter in your life- adulthood. You are so bold, brave, smart, compassionate and curious about the world. Keep exploring and learning how you can make your impact. I love you so much. Always remember your mom is your biggest fan.

Lutsen

Lunch spot in Duluth - the most delicious sandwich ever!! 

Yahtzee- Abel was the winner 

 

Christmas at Lutsen with my whole crew! What a wonderful three days. A few of us got sick with a cold, lots of coke meds, tons of great food, games, skiing , outside hot tubs and Christmas movies. Love a long weekend with my favorite people at a new cool place.

Matching hoodies 

Cool picture spot

Hand made by Sydney- I love it! 

Betty’s pie and dessert 

Not all the hills were open at Lutsen but plenty of the greens and blues were- which is prefect for me. The snow conditions were good and it was so much fun skiing some where new. We were able to ski in and out right from our place.

Time together is the best!
