These boys have already had one week off to enjoy Christmas Break! I worked a couple days at the beginning of the week and tried to entertain these crazy kids while being productive for work. We played board games, broke open geodes, cashed in our money from GranDan (and saw Mommy's name as part of the SECU Advisory Board), made new purchases, dropped off donations with classmates, and had friends spend the night.... all by Wednesday!
Austin and Jackson got to spend 24 hours with us: they bowled, had a nerf gun battle, played Uno Mega Hit Attack, played video games, watched movies and ate plenty of junk food!
We added another friend that was at the bowling alley at the same time... Mommy was really outnumbered!
Our boys did a great job raking our leaves the next day after their friends left.
Thursday evening, we enjoyed the Botanical Garden lights!
On Friday, the boys played at the track, testing out their skateboards and playing soccer and football.
We also made slime! (You can tell the boys are using all of their new gifts they got from our family members that we got to see last weekend!)
We met the Williams family at the park and ran into another one of Zander's best friends, Nathaniel!
We had date night Friday night!
On Saturday, we got to make Christmas cookies at Grammy and Grandpa's.... always a favorite holiday tradition! We joined Daddy that afternoon for a movie and to look at Christmas lights in the area... a bonus is that we have found some displays that include a soundtrack attached through the radio station 88.1.
We spent Christmas Eve at the Bakewells. We enjoyed delicious food and the adults opened presents. Grammy and Grandpa gave Daddy and I a beautiful picture of Burke that my cousin, Kaitlyn, had created for us. It is perfect! We miss him so much! It is hard to believe it will be three months without him tomorrow, on Christmas Day.
Letters are written to Santa, carrots are out front for the reindeer, Santa has his milk and cookies and we heard the bells on Santa's sleigh ringing outside as the boys headed to bed.... we are ready for Christmas! :)
