The beginning of our break

• Got together with some friends and exchanged gifts and had dinner
• Played the fun new game we got from our friends
• Skyped with Carol, Rylee, and Sue a couple times for a long time (it was really a fun time!)
  
• Slept in Saturday, stayed in our pjs and watched movies while John finished preparing for his Sunday School lesson
• Enjoyed our Christmas sermon and then our Christmas fellowship at church
• Baked some sugar cookies
• Made about 4 HUGE forts, tents, and beds and played a LONG time in them
• Cleaned up the house for about 2 hours (mostly putting away tent, fort, and house items) and got caught up on laundry
  
• Made Peanut Butter Chocolate Balls (my first experience with Parafin wax - it was interesting and only took 2 trys...)
• Made some Peanut clusters and started making another huge fort (stopped in the middle by a frazzled mom)
• Changed all the twin sheets just for fun - not sure why the kids really enjoyed doing this!
• Organized all the presents under the tree for different gift exchanges
• Started taping to paint the brown stripe on my bedroom ceiling
• Watched Night at the Museum 2 together after a dinner out with John
• Worked a little bit on some web page projects while the kids played Hide-n-seek (Jonathan is actually very good at this game and loves to count - he can actually do it too!)
  

We are looking forward to a little more baking and maybe a couple Christmas movies...the best news...some snow is coming this week!
