Our Christmas break kicked off with a bang. Our first Saturday we were booked from sun up to sun down. But our favorite was going to Austin Boldering Project. We went some friends in our ward, Ben and Molly, and had so much fun. The kids loved the kid area. We climbed for a couple of hours. The kids could have stayed longer. It was so much fun.
Then we rushed home, in the pouring rain to get our babysitter and head to our annual white elephant party with our friends. This year it was also an ugly sweater party. We had a great time as usual. Love seeing our friends and we both came home with Amazon gift cards. #winning
On Monday we really had to get going on finishing up our shopping. So we divided up the kids and hit running errands hard. Aaron had to stop by Dell to get his laptop fixed. the boys didn't seem to mind.
The number of hours Carson read over Christmas break?? I have NO idea but LOTS!
My Christmas break obsession which are the reason for my January diet. :)
We did a trip to the Children's museum. We had so much fun. Aaron took the kids while Spencer napped and then I brought him over for the last hour or so.
Spencer loves the water tables.
Then we went across the street to Mueller to play for a little bit. But then we were off to delivery Christmas cards and get home for dinner and to watch a Christmas movie. (We watched one every night this week.)
It was still nice enough for going to the park that week, which made it fun.
We opted indoors to go swimming at the gym too and play basketball. I get so cold swimming indoors but Spencer didn't want to stop. He loved it.
Aaron trying to eat some lunch alone. LOL. He was like "so this is what eating lunch at home is like. They are like baby birds when you try to eat your own food.
We spent hours one day in our pajamas reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Our kids loved it and didn't want to stop. Aaron and I both had sore throats. It was such a fun day.
Our little Santa.
On Saturday we cleaned the church and then had friends over all day. The kids played, we ate snacks and did puzzles. It was such a fun day.
On Sunday we went to just Sacrament meeting for church since it was Christmas Eve. It was a lovely meeting and man was going to just one hour of church nice. :)
After church we did make your own pizzas for dinner, made brownies with peppermint M&Ms for Santa and watched Elf. It was pretty perfect. We also read the Nativity and acted it out with figures.
Then the kids rushed off to bed. "No time for a book Mom I have to get to sleep before Santa comes"
"This is the only night of the year I am excited to go to sleep."
Very excited kiddos. Man Christmas is a magical time of year.
