Well, well, well, today is the last day of Christmas break. I would not be surprised if we have a snow day tomorrow. It is 10 degrees and with wind chill it is -19. BRRRR. The snow is still falling and blowing. The drifts are amazing. We have no snow in the front yard and can see the grass, but the walkway to the house is halfway up Rob's calf.
We had a great break. The kids and I were all in school/work thru December 23rd. We started baking the 24th and just relaxed. I was not feeling well and laid down. The next thing I knew we had missed the children's mass at church. Christmas day was very relaxing and the kids were so excited - which was really nice to see. They were finally all old enough to get all excited.
Other things we did during break. Sledding - was so much fun, went to Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Squeal. Went to two hockey games, shopped, lots of skating, scrapbooking, going to the YMCA, having kids over to play and relaxing.
New Year's Eve we spent at home (which is what we usually do). We had family game night. It was a blast. We had tacos for dinner, chocolate covered strawberries and bananas, chips and dip, cheetzits, nachos, and fritos for snacks during the night. We started the family game night with boys against girls in a puzzle challenge (girls won). We than played lots of hands of Uno (girls won 3 and boys won 1). Next we played racko (girls won 1 and boys won 2). Lastly, we played Grinch bingo (girls won 2 and boys none). Everyone went to bed early - we just can't stay up until the ball drops. Maybe another year!
Happy New Year - I hope 2010 is better than 2009.
