Christmas and Christmas Break 2021

Christmas Morning- we all got up around 7.  Leo wanted to stay in bed:).  Not what you might picture for a Christmas morning! The kids had fun opening their presents! They opened their stockings and gifts from Santa first, then we had breakfast and went back and opened the other gifts.  It was a really fun relaxing morning/day! We just sat around with the house a total mess and played games and relaxed until about 2:30, then stated to clean up and get ready for our guests who came at 4.  

I didn't take individual pics, but some of the highlights were Annie's barbie dreamhouse, Kate getting to build a chicken coop, Will's phone, Leo's Avenger puzzle, and Grace's watch and clothes! Also, Pat and I gave them Universal Studios in March! 

Bill, Maureen, Kelly and Jimmy and Roxanne came for Christmas dinner, which was really fun! 

We did a lot of puzzles during break! Leo got the Avengers puzzle for Christmas and has probably put it together about 20 times since then! And Kate got a Harry Potter puzzle that was SO hard to do that I had to give her two pictures:). 


Mad for buffalo plaid! Thanks to Aunt Kelly, the kids had cute matching outfits for Christmas Eve at Bill and Maureen's! 


The day after Christmas it snowed! It was so pretty, but also tiring at first as we were just coming off Christmas and had to switch gears to make sure we had all of their snow gear! But once we figured that out, they had a lot of fun playing all week in the snow! We took a break on Tuesday to go to the movies to see Sing 2, which was so fun!! 




 

New Year's Eve! We had family over for dinner! 

The last day of break the snow started to melt, but it was still too icy to run around outside so I made the kids go to the trail! They never want to go, but it always feels so great to get out and walk/run around!
