What a Week

Since I usually have a VERY busy December at work, as soon as it was winter break the kids and I had some catching up to do on our fun for the month. Here is what we did in the week before Christmas (other than those several last minute shopping trips).

We had G-mama's Christmas. Twenty-five of us were there to eat pigs-in-the-blanket, open gifts with the kids, do some Christmas crafts, and play games. Always yummy, always fun, and always heart-warming to be all together at once.

We visited Santa. Painless for the first time ever, all three kids smiled, all three told him what they wanted. We changed afterward into some shirts they made (with Crystal, not me, um hello you thought I had the time!).

We made cookies for Santa. We sliced up some sugar cookie dough and jazzed them up with some "fun-dough" and sprinkles.

We went to San Diego and Christmas Eve Eve to attend the Poinsettia Bowl Game between Navy and San Diego State. Our first bowl game ever and it was tons of fun. We did spend the entire third quarter taking multiple trips to the bathroom and annoying our seat neighbors and had a small snag (read really long time) getting on the train to get back to where we parked, but it was worth it.

We jammed a lot into that first week of winter break and we were tired, but it was a good tired, and have some nice memories to enjoy.
