I love having a week off with the girls. I love sleeping in... 9 am is my official wakeup time during vacation and I am not ashamed. We have hung out at home, getting our hiney's kicked by a 7 year old at Yahtzee. Battleship and Mario Brothers are hot right now. The TV has been mostly off, and there have been less fights than normal...not that there is EVER a cross word spoken in our house (ha!)
We have discovered yummy new pizza places (all hail real pizza!) We have driven to "wherever the car takes us" as Bug so eloquantly asked to do the other day. We have gone sledding so many times that I think I have permanent frostbite on my toes.
And most of all...I have discovered that my girls are REALLY funny, and so incredibly sarcastic, they put me to shame.
Can we push going back to school back for another week?...This has been a very Merry Christmas Vacation

Is it really over?
I can't believe Christmas has come and gone, another year is almost over. Time is going much too fast for me. This was one of those fabulous Christmas's, where we had just a plain old great time. No, I never got the neighbor gifts done (sorry neighbors...really truly), I don't know where the time went, I could have used another week between getting out of school and Christmas day. This whole getting out of school on the 23rd doesn't work for me so well.
I can't find my camera, so there are no pictures, but I am going to try and post video asap of Dancingqueen getting her gift. It is hilarious! Poor girl sat watching her sisters get their phones, and DS's and bikes, and she got underwear, and a Taylor Lautner poster. You will see in the video though, that she was a great sport about it. Then we told her that I had accidently left her other gift in my car and could she go get it. She opened the door to see her new (to her) car, compliments of Uncle J giving us the deal of the century. Holy cow, the screams and jumping that a 15 year old can do! She has gotten to drive it around the block a few times, and in and out of the driveway. That's about it!
Crazygirl hasn't let go of her phone yet...so grateful for unlimited texting!
It was such a relaxing day, we took our time with gifts and breakfast, then the girls went sledding and we played with new "toys" before heading to grandma and grandpa's house for dinner and gifts with more family... SO FUN! SOOOOO sad it is over.
We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas with your families also!

Dec Update
We have been busy doing lots of little stuff over the past month.
Crazygirl performed her tap routine at the Festival of Trees. I have pictures, but am too lazy right now to spend the 10 seconds it takes to download them from my camera to the computer. Do you think anyone will notice if I just put up last years photo's?
Hmmmm half hour later, couldn't find the pics, but had a great time strolling down memory lane!
(still regret letting the men talk us out of these super hot glasses...don't know WHY they were embarassed to be seen with us in them)
Fun times!!!!

dinner with the jazz
Dancingqueen won a contest in her Spanish class, and got 2 tickets to a BBQ and meet-n-greet with the Utah Jazz. We had to laugh a little, because of all of our children, she is the least interested in sports! She took her dad (like he would have even given me the option of going instead of him!!) and they had a blast. She came home with a souvenier basketball with signatures from every player and their coach. They got to meet some of the players wives and kids also, which really personalized it for her. I think basketball has a new fan now!

ankle P.T.
I have a physical therapist. His name is Bruce. Bruce has strong hands. Bruce had to endure looking at the ugliest-I-need-a-pedicure toes ever today. He deserves to paid more than he probably is. Best part, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with my dumb ankle. Bruce's (did I mention strong) hands will play a huge part of that. Dan knows of my friendship with Bruce's hands. In fact, seeing how much better my ankle is doing, he wholeheartedly approves of it!
