The Week After Christmas

We've had a great week! After spending Christmas at home, the rest of the week the boys and I had a great time hanging out. Tuesday we ran early morning errands, mostly some returns, then stopped by the zoo. It was cold, but very refreshing. We were some of the only people there, which was also nice because they could run around and play Hide & Seek. Wednesday we spent the morning at Jump Zone playing until the boys were worn out. After dinner, we made a family trip to Target. It was fun to walk around and hang out. Brent ended up getting a game and the boys had their eyes on some toys they wanted to spend their money on. Thursday we spent the morning at home doing chores then the afternoon running errands. That night we played games and watched TV. Today the boys and I went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum. This week has been amazing! I have been able to catch my breath, enjoy my family, and refocus. Breaks are the best!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas started out like any other. The boys came down to see what Santa left for them. We had cranberry cream cheese loaf for breakfast. Brent went to work. The boys played with their new tablets and other toys. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We started out Christmas Eve with church. It was a nice service and great reminder of why we celebrate! Afterward we came home and relaxed then opened presents from one another. That night we went out to dinner and saw the light show at Coney Island. When we got home, it was snowing. What a good day!

December 23: Engaged!

Congrats to John and Amy! They are going to get married next fall! We are so excited! 

December 20: To Nana and Papa's We Go!

The day after we got out of school for break, the boys and I headed to North Carolina to visit with Nana, Papa, and the rest of the family. While there we opened Christmas presents, played at the park, jumped at SkyZone, watched a movie, and enjoyed one another's company. We had a great time and can't wait to go back!

December 18: Skating

Our school had a skate night. It was the first time either of the boys had ever been on roller skates. Though they were slow to start, they both did very well for their first time. I can't wait to take them again! 

December 17: Awaited

The boys and I enjoyed Awaited, the Christmas retelling at our church. They were mesmerized by the story of Jesus's birth. Oliver's favorite part was the wise men. Graham's was when Jesus was born. It was a very special time for me and the boys!
