Christmas Break 2016

Even though I only had seven days off of work, I still managed to get a lot done during Christmas break. Mind you, my focus was not on getting things done. It was on plain old relaxing and having fun with my kids. I like to think back on all that we did so I know that the break was 100% worth it.

Just for fun

• went to a BYU basketball game
• watched the entire season 5 of Once Upon a Time
• lots of fires, movies and popcorn
• made yummy homemade treats
• swimming in the swim spa
• had school friends over
• read a book The Keeper (almost finished)
• watched some adorable neighbor kids so their parents could get home improvements done
• date night- saw Rogue One in the fancy recliner theater while kids had a sleepover at cousins
• went to Peppermint Place on it's last day and bought a bunch of candy at 75% off

Things that were accomplished:

• Balanced the checkbook and set up a Roth IRA account!
• Finally redid the caulking in the shower. Yahoo! That's been on my list for about a year.
• Made a few dreaded phone calls (RC Willey, PG City, Arctic Spa Store)
• trip to DI
• hung up pictures on the walls downstairs
• Kimee got to go to the temple, practice her ensemble piece, and almost finish her math homework.
• Audrey practiced basketball with dad and is almost finished her Faith in God.
• Maddi learned a bunch of tricks on her string and cleaned her room.
