The Start of Christmas Break

We started off Christmas week with me and the kids driving to Lincoln with Andrew's parents. (They came down to watch the kids and take them to the Annual Christmas party my Moms group puts on while Andrew and I went to his work party.) While we drove to Lincoln, Andrew got an amazing opportunity to go to a Dallas Cowboys game with his boss. His boss flew them down to Dallas Sunday morning in his plane, they went to the game, and then flew back Sunday night. I was pretty jealous since they got to watch the game from one of the suites.

While in Lincoln we did a lot of acting goofy,

singing Christmas songs,

and thanks to my FIL Frank for taking the kids to the Childrens Musuem 3 days in a row my MIL and I got a lot of projects finished! We may have also been talked into doing a swap meet next fall at a local fabric store. That is if we get enough things made that we don't want to keep for ourselves! Here are a couple of the things we worked on...

Daddy arrived in Lincoln Wed. morning so he could start cooking all of our yummy Christmas treats. We had kuchen, peanut-butter balls, dream bars, frozen fruit salad, garlic bubble loaf, caramels, taco soup, and Chex mix all on our list of things for him to make so he kept pretty busy.

Our first family Christmas was on Thursday night with Andrews Dad. We all met at Valentinos for dinner and ro exchange gifts. After dinner the parking lot was pretty slick and Andrew's Dad ended up slipping and falling. On Christmas morning we found out he had broken 4 ribs from his fall. Thankfully he seemed to be doing a little better when Andrew talked to him Monday morning.

On Christmas Eve we did a little last minute shopping.(Andrew decided Daisy needed something for Christmas so he went to get fabric so his mom could make her a dog bed.) Then it was back to my Mil's house for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner of taco soup and garlic bubble loaf. After dinner we picked up my Mom to go look at lights. Since I was a little kid I remember always going to look at lights on Christmas Eve so it is a tradition that I want to continue with my kids. When the kids Weston had enough of being in the car we headed back to my Mil's house to get ready for bed. The kids had a big day ahead of them!

New Bed!

Doesn't he look like he is having so much fun?!?
