So, once again I have let a long period of time pass since my last blog post. I have several friends who blog and keep up with it so well and have far more going on in their lives than I do, so I can’t offer any excuses!!
Perhaps I should add “more blogging” to my resolutions this year!!
I thought I would cover just a few highlights from our Holiday Break. Here in our district, the kids get off from school both the week before and the week after Christmas. All in all, Grace got off 19 days in a row!!
Chris took a few days off the week before Christmas as he had to work the week after. So, during his days off we did a few fun family things.
We took the girls to see The Muppets at the theatre. It is always a risk to take Emma anywhere that requires you to be still and/or quiet. The fact that the movies require both are a challenge!! This was her second time at a theatre and she did really well – for Emma!!
The next day we decided to have an indoor “camp out” in the living room in front of the Christmas tree. So, in keeping with the camping spirit we have s’mores ahead of time. Emma thought they were gross because they got on her fingers, but Grace chowed down and wanted more!
So, after we chiseled off the melted marshmallows, Chris, Grace and Emma got settled in for the night in their tent. Sadly, Emma only lasted a little while and ended up going into her own bed and slept really well all night!! Otherwise, the indoor camp out was a great success!
The rest of the break was spent reading books, playing games, bike rides and just hanging out without the rush rush that defines our normal routines!!
We had a nice, quiet and low key Christmas here with just the four of us. We are all really enjoying being able to wake up in our own house and have slower holidays out here!
We wish you all a wonderful happy and healthy 2012!! Hopefully, you will be hearing more about us via this blog – but I wouldn’t hold your breath on that!!
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
- Proverbs 19:21
