I don't think I've taken a picture in about a month, so words only will have to suffice for this post. We had a very nice little break from the normal routine over the past 2 weeks. Let's recap...
- haircuts for all of us (kind of a big deal with this happens very rarely around here)
- new glasses for Alex
- late, late nights and sleepy mornings
- sledding at Elver Park
- snow tubing at Cascade Mountain (fun!!!!!!!)
- swimming at a warm (indoor, of course) pool
- Christmas Eve party here - such fun with a wonderful family group
- several other Christmas celebrations with family - all sweet in their own way
- nice visit with my bro, and a couple of short and sweet phone conversations with his wife, whom we all missed these holidays
- sleepover with cousins
- a quiet new years' eve at home, watching the ball "drop" (and all I can say is, "poor Dick Clark...")
- many games of Life and Monopoly (we graduated to the real monopoly - much more fun!)
If you were to ask the kids, their list would be as follows:
- playing with the wii that Santa brought us
- laughing hysterically about the "fanny bank" that Enzo got in a dirty Santa gift exchange -- drop some loot and hear a toot
- Finn's new fish, Franklin
- watching the Packers make it into the playoffs
Today, it's back to reality. Alex awoke early for school and was all ready to go 20 minutes before the bus got here. Finn admitted that he was happy that school was starting again. And Enzo is back in the lap of luxury -- watching Bob the Builder and drinking apple juice with not a brother around to bother him. Bob is back to work and I just did some Yoga Booty Ballet. Now off to make some bread and take a shower. Hello January!!!
