That's a wrap...

Our Christmas break has come to an end. All sixteen days of them. It was all so good though, we really had some great family time together! Here is a little of what we did to wrap up the last week of vacation.

• Heath, Cody and Luke picked Teresia up from the airport, they were so excited to go and get her. As soon as they got home we had another Christmas with her. The boys were spoiled like always and the evening was spent playing with all of our new toys and games.
  
• The boys still have their coughs.
  
• Heath and I started the new year off by going out on a date while Teresia was home with the boys. We did a little shopping, had some dinner and went out to a movie (The Blind Side), such a good movie and so fun dating my husband!
  
• I went out shopping the Christmas clearance sales and got some great decorations for next year.
  
• Heath, Cody and Luke went and watched Avatar, it's a long movie almost three hours but they all really enjoyed it.


• Luke has spent many hours creating and building his own Bionicles. He gives them a name and tells me all about them and then has me put them on a website where others can view them and vote on them. He checks them multiple times a day and is so proud that one of his has gotten nine votes.
  
• We had some great fun sledding and playing in the falling snow at night with the neighbors. Ryan rode behind Heath on the back of the four wheeler and ended up falling asleep.
  
• Cody has spent many hours with his nose in a book. Twice we have gone to Barnes and Noble to pick out new books and have gotten some great ones to add to our collection. Some of Cody's new reads are National Geographic weird but true, Farmers Almanac for Kids, Spy Eyewitness Book, Guinness World Records 2010, and some Star Wars chapter books. This kid is a book worm!
  
• The boys went to Toy's R Us to spend some Christmas money from Uncle Brent. They managed to find some new toys that we didn't own yet, so we added to the collection.
  
• We played a lot of Family Game Night and Toy Story Mania on the Wii.
  
• The boys and Tereisa put together a gingerbread house that their cousins in Mississippi sent them.
  
• We watched some new movies the boys got from Christmas, G-Force, Aliens in the Attack and Night of the Museum 2.
  
• We watched some old family videos of the kids that made me laugh but want to cry, my boys are just getting too big and that stuff seems like it happened so long ago.
  
• Ryan has played with his little Transformer figurines everyday. He holds one up in each hand and asks you who you want to win. You tell him who you would pick and if it happens to be the wrong one he tells you which one to say, funny kid.

It was nice not having a routine, staying in pajamas and doing whatever we felt like whenever we wanted to, but that's all coming to an end. Life is returning to normal, but that's not a bad thing, it's good!
