Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season. MUCH LOVE FROM THE ENTIRE ROKOS FAMILY!

I know it's been way too long since I've updated and there is so much to catch up on and hopefully in the next few days I can get it done. Not having wi - fi up and running at the house makes it hard to post all the time but with Christmas here and being at my parents house I can blog a little more. The last few weeks at the house have been wonderful for Stella and I! We've had some playtime in between all the work and I have lots of pictures....stay tuned! I'm making this post short, Stella and I are heading out to Rattle Snake Alley on my parents property to do some sledding. I love this time of year. Sending out much love!!!

Last night was Stella's and my first night in the new house. We have been mad busy trying to put it all together so we can get moved in. I'll post a bunch of pictures tonight! Much Love!

Can you believe it? It's December 1st already! 31 more days and the year is over. I'm putting the finishing touches on the house (at least the rooms we are finishing now) and stuff is starting to get moved in. Last night I unpacked most of the kitchen. It was like Christmas digging into all the stuff I had long forgotten I had. I am hoping to be completely moved in and living there by the 18 th and just in time for the holidays. Last night while I was unpacking, I had the tunes cranked and I stopped for a second look around and realized that this was MY home. It's a funny feeling, up until now we've been working so hard on the house that it's just been this (what seems like) never ending project, but last night it finally felt like home! I can't tell you how excited Stella and I are to get all our stuff in there. Wish everyone a great December. Much Love!

A quick recap of the last few days....there was of course an amazing Thanksgiving dinner, lots of work on the house, a fantastic night out to dinner and the ballet, an incredible day of skiing and of course the best part....picking my lil monkey up after 4 days of missing her!!! I can't begin to describe the feeling I get when I strap on a pair of skis and fly down the mountain. It makes my heart soar, puts a huge smile on my face and makes me a very happy girl. Today we skied Copper. The sun was shinning, the snow was hard and there weren't too many people out on the hill. It was perfect! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Much Love!!!

Another WONDERFUL Vossler / Rokos Thanksgiving has come and gone. I am thankful for so many things in my life, family, health, friendships, love and most of all my little monkey! She couldn't be with us this year and was extremely missed but I'm sure she is having a great time with her dad, step-mom and most of all her beloved little brother. I count my blessings every day and am grateful to so many people in my life but it's always great to all sit down to an amazing meal and give thanks. Very thankful for my brother! Thankful for all the amazing food! Thankful for love! Thankful for family!!! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and had the opportunity to spend it with loved ones. Much Love!

So.... here it is, last night we put a few finishing touches on the kitchen (still a few more to go, but) i finally feel like there is an end in sight! The old pink and brown kitchen.....YUCK! The old kitchen tile on the counter tops. The new kitchen counter tops! The old entry way with the nasty old nasty, broken up tile. The new entry way with the pantry, and some new tile. Mmmm !! :) Here it is. The new kitchen!! So happy with the way it turned out. It's very warm and cozy. It's a little hard to see the colors on the walls but I'll try and get some better pics up soon. I took these latest pictures this morning while Stella and I were on the way to her school bus pick up. Hope everyone had wonderful weekend. Much love! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLIE!!!!
