Christmas Break

 

We had a few warm days during our break which meant perfect walking weather with my best boy!

Afternoon nap time post ice skating















After Christmas, the kids wanted to try out ice skating at the arena, so that is what we did.  Is was definitely challenging to ice skate, but they did a great job and most importantly, they had FUN!

Christmas Day

 

























Christmas Day...it was a little different this year.  We did our traditional open gifts and big breakfast, but it was different in that it was just the 4 of us.  This was our first Christmas without Mimi, so that was very different.  Papa was in the hospital still recovering from his stroke, so that was different.  And Pammy decided to go to Athens this year.  It was still a sweet day, but it had a different feel for sure.  Initially we were supposed to fly out Christmas Day for Mexico, but with Papa being unstable medically, we decided to reschedule.  After breakfast, we went to Nashville to spend a few hours with Papa.  We played cards and hung out.  It was a merry Christmas...just different....and we were definitely missing those that couldn't be with us.
