It's Over???

I can't believe break is about 15 hours away from being over. I didn't blog at all over break. I can't help it...I was just too buy hanging out with my family watching movies, visiting with friends and family and taking a well-needed break. It was GREAT! I loved it!

Christmas was awesome! We had a really good time visiting with family. The kids were so excited with everything they got and we had a blast playing together with all their new toys and games. Elijah got an iPod Nano. He loves that thing! He has tons of music on it already as well as a couple movies. He is diggin' it! Noah wanted some remote control stuff so he got a helicopter and this weird three-wheeled thing. Very fun! Sydney got a Nintendo DS. She has been playing with it non-stop. She also got a digital pet (called a Tamagotchi) and even though she loves it, she's been so busy playing with all her stuff that she forgets to play and feed the digital pet and it dies and goes to heaven! It cracks us up! So we have to reset it and she has to start all over again. It's a riot.

Chad was home for ten days with us. He took off some time from work and spent Christmas break with us. It was so fun to be able to spend time with him. We played games and watched movies and he helped me make lasagna (well, okay...he didn't help me make it but he did help eat it!) It was so good to all have some down time together. I know once school starts back up again the rat race will be even worse than it was before Christmas! Elijah and Noah start swimming in a couple weeks! AAAAAHHHHRRRGG! Busy, busy, busy. But it's all good!

I hope Christmas was wonderful for everyone. I hope took a few minutes to reflect on your blessings and remember why this season is so important.
