Wow, the holidays go by fast once they are finally here...2016 ended and 2017 is well on its way!
Let me catch you up on our holiday experiences:
December 25th - Christmas Day
We woke up around 8am and began opening presents one by one. We completely forgot about the stockings until after breakfast. Whoops...
It was fun to see everyone discover what has been sitting under the tree for them this whole time. Many thoughtful and exciting gifts!
I was ecstatic about my new games! I got six new games total! Thank you Mom, Dad, Jamie, Erin, Ashley, and Hailey for these goods!
Stardew Valley
Beach Buggy Racing
Ori and the Blind Forest
Never Alone
Minecraft: Story Mode
Pokepark 2
I'm so excited to play these new games!
After breakfast and stockings, we spent the day together - playing games and eating delicious food. We had tamales and played Charoodles (basically like charades with different props provided) with my Aunt Jamie. Watching everyone act out their cards was hilarious!
We FaceTimed with my siblings, nieces, nephew and brother-in-law as well! I was so happy to see everyone. Our FaceTime sessions can be chaotic, but they are fun and always make me laugh.
We also got to open even more gifts once my sister returned from Hawaii with my eldest sister's family presents. They got me a very cool toy that flies up into the air and lights up, we're going to take it to the park tonight to watch all of the colors. I'll have to show you guys asap.
We also opened our new Ticket to Ride game! I played with my boombox while they slowly took over Europe's railways. :P
January 2017 (so far):
Now it's already January 8th! In two months I'll be turning 25!! That is crazy...
My twin and I made lists of what we want to work on in 2017. We made individual ones and one for our whole family to add to that we wanted to work on together.
Our Xbox One collection is growing!

Ashley was playing too (I know, she actually sat down for a longer game!) and took this photo.
(P.S.: She totally won! Maybe she'll play games like this more often? ;) )

I want to:
- Update my blog at least once a week and on holidays
- Get in my wheelchair more often (I get in it everyday already, so this should be an easier one :P)
- Update social media more often (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook)
- Cook and bake more with my family (and of course I'll share the recipes we try)
As a family we want to:
- Do an activity together once a month
- Work on family history, pictures, etc. on Sundays
- Have the siblings cook a family meal at least once a week
- Eat outside more often (on the backyard patio, at the park, have picnics)
- Clean more often, together (surface and deep clean)
Looking up recipes to try (we use Pinterest too!)
Helping clean the 4Runner!
Lola is ever helpful with my blog.
Do you have any 2017 goals? Please share!
Thanks for reading. Have a great Sunday!
Cheers,
Erik
