Christmas Break and New Years

Christmas break had its ups and downs like you would imagine. We had this one day where I organized a bunch of girl clothes and boy, I just hated that day.

Then another day where we met up with Ken and his family to celebrate Sky's birthday at the Bean Museum.



After that I took the kids to Wendy's for lunch and then my mom took us to Nickel City as part of our Christmas present. It was really fun as always.



Tyler ran into his friend Nixon so they got to hang out together which was awesome.


After that we went to see Brandon at work and stopped at the new park by his work. The weather was incredible and the kids had so much fun at this awesome park.






This was absolutely the most perfect Christmas Break day you could ever have! I was so happy.

New Years Eve celebrations happened on the 30th since New Years Eve was a Sunday.







Then on actual New Years Eve we hung out and played games. Kallie had Sophie sleep over since her family was all doing other stuff.


Every single one of the kids stayed up till midnight! Then the next day we had fun playing games.

Mckinley made the cutest cross stitch and Grandma Bishop helped her turn it into a pillow.

She also helped her finish off this cute stuffed elephant Mckinley made. She got the pattern from her sewing class at school.


In preparation for Brandon's 40th birthday we started celebrating and decided to take the kids ice skating. It was the first time for all of them. It started out a little rocky but ended up with everyone loving it and asking to go back again. Jackson said it's what he wants to do for his birthday, ha ha. We used our starving student cards and were able to take the whole family for $22. It will definitely be more expensive next time!

I just absolutely love all the memories we are making as a family. These really feel like the golden years and I am enjoying it so much!



Tyler was the one kid who just took off and didn't have any problems at all! He did fall and hurt his tail bone pretty bad but he was so good at it. He's so athletic! Just like his dad.

Ava was a little pro! She had been practicing quite a bit on roller blades lately and I think that really helped her.
