Christmas Eve... We played "Minute to Win it" all afternoon... it was awesome.. (thanks for organizing it Lindsey)then we cooked our deluxe ham dinner and ate it.... it was awesome! Then we did our family talent show, the nativity and went to bed.
Christmas Day- Up at 5:30 a.m. - opened our gifts. 7:30- phone call from Matt!! It was WONDERFUL!! We absolutely loved it!! We got to talk for 1 1/2 hours and were able to hear more details about his mission. He is doing great and is so happy. It was SO SO SO good to hear his voice and get to talk with him! Then we played with our new toys and took naps and then had our annual appetizer feast. YUM!
We were able to do lots of fun things during the break! Here are a few random things we did during the two weeks off. It was so great to have Dave home so much!! Went to the park and played with our new volleyball/badminton set, went ice skating, Leslie and Dave Date night to dinner and a movie, played with the wii LOTS, played board games, watched all our new DVDs, went to the park and laid on the grass and watched the clouds roll by.... it was great! We had such a nice time!
New Years Eve- Lindsey and Maddie hit up the Regional NYE dance and Dave chaperoned it.- Katie and Ellie threw a bash at our house- I laid upstairs in my bed and listened to the giggling girls all night since I worked that day and was beat!!
New Years Day- Put away the Christmas stuff, cleaned out some closets, out with the old-in with the new!! Watched football and played wii, delish steak dinner with grandpa!
We had a GREAT break!! This morning it was hard to see it end! But we sure did love it while it lasted!!!
Here's some of the action -- lots of pics!! :P
