Christmas Break

Christmas break has been all about catching up on sleep, drinking hot cocoa, watching movies and sitting by the fireplace (with fun activities thrown in too). I REALLY needed this break and nothing makes me happier than being with the kids all day and cuddling with the hubby at night.

Santa came to church

And he was super excited about Bodie wanting a hot wheel track

Bubbles went to school with Kayla on the last day

All ready for her school Christmas program

Bubbles being a little naughty

I got ready for bed and found this one hadn't gone to sleep yet...so we watched a Xmas movie in bed

The view from our bedroom one morning....absolutely beautiful

Christmas break means staying in bed to watch movies before getting up for the day

And lots of hot cocoa with marshmallows 

We wacthed the Utes game with Paka

Lots of playing in the snow

And gymnastics practice while watching xmas movies

Bubbles popped into Bodie's backpack one day too

Building a snow fort

A puppet show

And a play

Bubbles doing a handstand

Lunch with cousins

Cousin time is always fun

The kids made us a special breakfast one morning

Life Lately...

Todd went into Kayla's class to help w/ Gingerbread houses and their class party (Bodie got to come and make one too)

Bodie loved being in Kayla's class...he's so excited for Kindergarten next year

The kiddos got to see Santa again

We went to a Christmas party with my family

This girl is always doing something gymnastic/dance

We got A LOT of snow (about double what we used to get at our old house)

We met up w/ a bunch of our neighbors for hot cocoa/treats and then all drove together to see Christmas lights

Bubbles has been having fun each day...

The cutest Christmas card from our mailman

I woke up at 2am one night and realized I hadn't moved the elf...so this is as creative as it was going to get

We went to dinner and drove around to see more lights

The kids helped me host a baby shower

These houses had the most amazing light display to music (there was even a Santa in the window moving around and waving). I have never seen anything like this at a private residence!
