Quick summary of our Christmas break. Took the kids and a couple of their friends to the local Fun Park for rollerblading, and a few arcade games. YOu should see Sam on roller blades! He's really coordinated for a 6 year old! Then, we spent the weekend cleaning, finishing shopping, wrapping presents, etc. and getting ready for the big day. We drove to Ogden on Saturday evening to have dinner with my Dad and Ann. Ann helped the kids make gingerbread houses. AFter dinner we went to see the lights downtown. Cold but fun. Trevor's mom arrived Sunday afternoon. Very brave of her to travel, considering that she is still recovering from surgery. We spent some good time with her and Tutu and Papasan for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was also fun to visit with Trevor's Dad, Suzanne, and grandma Gladys on Christmas Eve. Definitely a Christmas full of family, which is a fun change for us. All of these grandparents were more than generous with our kids' gifts, so they had tons of packages to open on Christmas morning. Unfortunately, after the Christmas fun, we spent the next few days nursing sick kids, but made some recoveries in enough time to go sledding on Friday, and then have a little party with some old friends on Saturday night. (played a karaoke version of DDR that was fun and also embarrassing.) For New Year's Eve, we attended an early 80th birthday party for papasan, which was also fun to see more family. Put our Christmas things away on New Year's Day, and the kids went back to school today. That's the reader's digest version.
Now for the longer version.....
Just kidding. The short version was long enough!
We had a lovely and restful holiday.
Now we're back to schedules, homework, and, of course, a new diet!
