Christmas Break To Do

I always make a huge To-Do list for Christmas break. I get really excited the weeks and days before it starts, but then when it actually starts I get this huge feeling of stress and worry because I know I won't be able to accomplish everything on my list. This year my list did start pretty big, but I feel good about the things I was able to accomplish.

• Dave worked most of the break, but it turned out OK. He wasn't as stressed about work and hopefully this means he will get to take off Christmas break for the next several years:)
• We babysat a little dog for a week. It was so much fun!
• We got to go up to my brothers cabin for a few days, snowmobile, hang out, play with cousins and play lots of games.
• Each person in our family got a movie for Christmas, and we watched each one.
• Each person in our family got a game for Christmas and we played each one numerous times.
• Did I mention we played lots of games?
• We had one whole day with friends at our house.
• We had a birthday/BYU bowl game party with good friends.
• We cleaned up some piles that have been there since we moved into this house.
• We cleaned up some piles that have been there since before we moved.
• I completely cleaned and reorganized my home office.
• I hung up a few things on the walls that have just been sitting there waiting to be hung.
• The girls and I put lots of special papers into page protectors and made their own binders.
• We had a movie night in my classroom where Dave and I rearranged my desk area to make it more functional to use the document camera with the mounted projector.
• The kids and Dave went hot-tubbing several times.
• Audrey and I made a list of dinners to make- and we had all of them over the break.

A few regrets

• I started reading a book but didn't finish it:(
• I wish I could have gotten some more done in my classroom.
• I didn't work on my blog at all- and that was supposed to be my number one thing to do:(

Cabin

We were invited to go up to Pete's cabin for New Year's. It was SOO fun!
Playing games, putting together a puzzle, going snowmobiling and tubing in the snow. One of our favorite parts was going downto see the huge bonfire on New Year's Eve! It was such a fun adventure! Thank you so much for having us come!
