Christmas Break

While we were snowed in, we passed the time playing games, doing crafts and dancing. I had a lovely clip of Em dancing but for some reason it wouldn't download. I will have to check into that because it is a fine piece, we're talking Broadway. We had fun playing in the snow and although the snow was too cold to make a good snowman we had a good time being out in it. Probably had something to do with our cabin fever. I did a lot of baking ( a lot compared to what I normally do) and mom had a cookie exchange party so we had a lot of goodies to keep us going. We went to my uncles for Christmas Eve and the kids got a lot of great gifts and it was fun to see everyone. Christmas morning we had to open presents from Santa quickly and then head to the Wrens for brunch. After nap we headed to my moms for dinner. All-in-all, it was a nice Christmas. We had to do all the traveling so next year will be a little different, but it is always nice to be around family. New Year's Eve we had appetizers and watched a movie. We found out that a tooth pick can make anything an appetizer, including chicken nuggets. Overall, it has been a nice break and actually a little relaxing. But tomorrow is school and both Emma and I are ready. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday and wish you the best for the new year.

We played a little dress up.
Santa was definitely watching. Emma plays with this computer every Sunday we go grocery shopping.
Santa brought Owen some dress up, he loves playing knight.



Santa even came for Kylie. He brought her "crazy monkey face" and she loves him so much she hasn't torn out the squeaker yet.
