Christmas Break 2008

Happy Holidays everyone! We hope you and your families had a wonderful Christmas season. Having Steven home for an entire week with no hospital responsibilities was definitely the best present I received. We are also loving the two week break that the public school system offers each year and have enjoyed that extra time with Ryley.

The weather outside this year was definitely frightful up until Christmas Day. We therefore enjoyed many indoor activities together which included numerous games, "Bolt" in 3D, and The Children's Museum, (the last activity of course being their favorite). Since that time we have been given the gift of 70 degree weather and have taken every opportunity available to enjoy the sun and fresh air. Our favorite game lately has been "hide n seek with walkie talkies", and while checking out various parks in the area we were also lucky enough to stumbled across a yummy surprise.












Each with their favorite gift this Christmas





Steven and I hung these Christmas Eve and looked at one another shaking our heads laughing. Laughing that we have enough children to fill a mantel, but mostly in complete awe of the many gifts we have been given throughout our lives. Four of which are hanging right here beside us.
