Christmas Vacation

Jason and I both had time off over Christmas.  Jason was off for about 2.5 weeks and I was off for 10 days.  It is always nice to be home with the girls over the holidays, and I'm thankful we were able to have this time.  It isn't always easy to get time off during the holidays when you work in healthcare, and I felt a little guilty even asking for vacation. 
 
We had a list of things we wanted to do with the girls while we were home.  I think we got most of the items crossed off of the list except for two...we didn't get to go ice skating and we didn't make it to the Durham to see the giant Christmas tree.  We will have to do these next year!  I wasn't sure how ice skating was going to work with Jason being in a boot and not being able to participate and me trying to help two little kiddos when I can't even skate myself!
 
Things we did do...went to cousin Nathan's basketball game, went to Walking with the Dinosaurs (with daddy), made Christmas cookies, went swimming at the YMCA, went to the park, played in the snow, looked at Christmas lights (Lily went with Pa Mike) and just enjoyed being home with everyone!
