Winter Break

Shay and the kids are on break from school for a few weeks! I love having them around!

We started the break with a campout under the Christmas tree.

We went climbing and the kids loved it!

We opened our Christmas Eve box on December 22 instead of the 24th because Embrie obviously needed some jammies.

We spent the night of Christmas Adam at the Grand Sierra Resort. The kids each opened another gift at the hotel because I seriously suck at waiting.

On Christmas Eve we drove around and looked at lights. Then Christmas was a beautiful day that deserves a post of its own.

The Tuesday after Christmas was beautiful, sunny, and cold. We went sledding.

On Wednesday evening I took Solee on a date to see the movie, Trolls. Afterward we found our flat-tired-car in the parking lot. AAA saved the day, and now we're good to go!

Our New Year's Eve shenanigans consisted of dressing up in our sparkliest clothes and eating at our favorite buffet. Shay went to bed early because he has a job, but the big kids and I made it just until midnight. Happy New Year!

Looking Fancy for the Holiday! Solee wanted to see the back of her hair, and this is how we do it.

 

This is how we all feel after eating at the buffet.

My New Year's Kiss

We spent the rest of our break playing, snuggling, and sledding with friends!

We braved Walmart with 3 extra kids in tow!

I'll miss you winter break, but now it's time for back to school.
