I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas yesterday and were able to celebrate the birth of Jesus with your family and loved ones! We spent the day at home and it was pretty perfect! I'll share our Christmas day, later on this week! Today, I'm sharing a little bit of our Christmas break and all the fun we've been squeezing in!
Let me just say, that this break was exactly what I needed! We've been home with no schedule and it's been fabulous!
We spent our first day of Christmas break cleaning. So fun! Ha! The girls asked to exchange Christmas gifts with each other, so I told them that they would have to spend some of their own money! Megan was totally behind the idea and was more than willing to help me clean so she could earn money to buy her sisters a present. We drew names, and they spent the morning helping me clean, and they never complained! It was fabulous!
The next day, DJ was home, so I headed to the gym. Megan woke up complaining that her stomach hurt, so we had to cancel her afternoon play date. Of course, she was so much better by that afternoon.
After dinner, DJ took Gretchen to her first basketball practice, and the little girls and I stayed home to clean up the kitchen. When we were done, we bundled up in warm clothes, drove through Starbucks for hot chocolate and met DJ and Gretchen and headed to a huge local Christmas light display!
We walked through and saw all the lights! It was gorgeous and the girls had a blast staying up way past their bedtime!
On Friday, DJ worked the women's basketball game and he convinced me to bring the crazy out in the cold and rain! But, Santa was there and the girls were so excited!!! (We had hoped to make it back to visit Santa and just ran out of time, so this was perfect!)
I grabbed lunch for the girls, and they watched the first half of the game. Gretchen was totally in to it! And, since the game was at 1:00 on a Friday afternoon, it was practically empty, and the girls had plenty of room to run around and play. Which, they did for most of the second half.
After the game, DJ took the girls home and I finished up some last minute Christmas shopping.
And after dinner, we told the girls to get on their pj's, and we went out for our annual Lights & PJ Night! We had cookies, and drove around to look at houses, and finished our tour at our favorite house.
We sat in the car, and watched the musical light display. Adalyn had fallen asleep, but I woke her up and pulled her up front with me so she would have a good view. This stop is a must every year!
And on Saturday morning, we woke up to snow!
The girls couldn't resist going outside in their pj's and playing in it!
Gretchen eventually joined in, and the big girls made a snowman later in the afternoon.
We drank Hot Chocolate, wrapped presents, and enjoyed being together with no real plans or agenda!
