It has been a very quiet, low key break. We of course had a great time celebrating Jesus' birthday. Benjamin made the cake and Jacob made the frosting. I thought it was ingenious for him to use wafer cookies for the name.
Our Christmas Day was literally spent all day in our pajamas. We went to Christmas Eve service and then skipped out on Sunday morning. We keep Christmas pretty low key with just small items.
I have enjoyed not having to work with my boxes. I have gotten some things cleaned up. One thing I really like about after Christmas is how the days start getting longer. I watch the shadows everyday in the back yard creep closer and closer to our yard. I look for the day when the sun actually hits Bree when she is in the backyard.
I also spent a day and a half doing one of my favorite things....working a puzzle. It was one the boys were not interested in, so I had it all to myself!!!!! 1000 pieces just for me! (I love working with the boys too)
No plans for the weekend. Just the way I like it. We have a really cold snap coming again early next week. I did my last workout of 2016! It was a mentally tough one. We had to row 10,000 meters (that is just under 6.5 miles). 52 minutes of rowing, rowing and rowing. I talked the coach into putting netflix on so we could at least watch Planet Earth, instead of our rowing monitor. I burned 587 calories and did it feel good! I am ready to start the new year.
