One of the things I love the most about being a teacher is to have breaks throughout the year to be a full time mommy. This year we had a full two weeks and we had quite a busy schedule. We celebrated Christmas 5 times between Ryan's brothers and their families, My mom, dad, siblings, Ryan's parents and grandparents and our own Christmas (of course Santa too) on Christmas day!
Elijah and Kolby had so much fun preparing for Santa to come. We spent my snow day, the Friday before break, making cookies just for Santa. Before anyone would eat one, Eli always made sure to let them know that they are Santa's cookies, but we can share.:) Eli and Kolby set out a plate full of cookies and a glass of milk for Santa. Eli also wanted to make sure that the reindeer had something too, so he left some baby carrots and a bowl of water for them to drink. They were so excited when he woke up to see that Santa and the reindeer ate all of their goodies and drank all of their milk and water!
The weekend after Christmas my brother Josh got married in Grand Island, Nebraska. He and Rachel had a beautiful Christmas wedding! Ryan and I enjoyed being a part of their special day. Eli and Kolby loved the dance at the reception.
On Monday morning after spending the weekend in Grand Island, NE for the wedding, Kolby had tubes placed in his ears. We have seen an amazing difference in him since the surgery. We hope that this helps with all of his ear infections and high temperatures!
The rest of the week we had fun visiting daddy at his work and going out to lunch with him, going to Pump It Up, celebrating New Years Eve with Uncle Robbie, Aunt Cassie and Cousin Fitz, playing outside, watching movies and funny videos on Youtube (I think there's a tie between Madagascar "I like to move it move it" and the "Gummybear Song"!
