Christmas Break

We watched UT take it all the way to the finals and then loose to Stanford. It was a heart breaking loss but Stanford outplayed them. 

We finally pulled the trigger on getting moving on our path. Once we decided to get moving the ball just kept rolling. We brought in our tree guy to take out the trees that were in the way and help clear out some of the landscaping. 

I took the kids to a birthday party at a large arcade one morning. The kids had a blast and Carson, as usual, blew through his tokens. Ha ha I stayed with Brooke and she loved playing all the games. Camilla ran around with her friends the whole time. 

When we got home the yard looked very different. 

On Sunday we decided to deliver treats to our neighbors. The girls were the only ones tough enough to brave the freezing temperatures. Camilla insisted on wearing her Santa hat. 

My little elves. 

Everyone loved having their treats delivered by these two cuties. 

Carson and Aaron had a late night date to do some shopping. They also stopped to get some ice cream. 

Camilla has been doing crafts the whole break. She made these glasses out of some materials that she found in the backyard from all the materials Aaron is using on the path. 

We decided to do gingerbread houses on the night Aaron was playing tennis. It went alright but the house fell apart a few times. It is hard to get the house to stick together, I tried super glue! 

Carson lost interest in about 2 minutes. Brookey was having fun but just kind of put a few pieces on. Camilla worked hard on it the whole time. She wanted to make it look just like the box. She works so hard. 

We have had some fabulous weather and trying to spend time outside. We had a fun afternoon at the park and the kids loved taking turns sliding with Spencer. 

The kids have all tried to help Dad with the path. Aaron has been working sun up to sun down on the path. 

This was his life for an entire week. We sure missed him but man the path looks beautiful. 

I was going a little crazy so one night Aaron came in when it got dark and immediately we packed up dinner for the kids and he took them to see Trolls at the dollar theater. The kids were thrilled! They had a great time and I loved being home with just Spencer. I cleaned the whole house while they were gone and greatly enjoyed some alone time after Spencer went to bed. The kids loved this movie. 

Aaron finished up the path just in time for the kids to ask Santa to bring us a fire pit. :)
