We had a fun little party last night with 2 couples from Shawn's work. We had some yummy food, played lots of Beatles RockBand and BandHero, and lit off fireworks at midnight. We got to bed about 1:30 and didn't get up until about 10:30. The kids were up earlier though.
We also had a great Christmas - very relaxed with lots of new Wii games being played. On Christmas Eve we went and saw "Where the Wild Things Are", had dinner at our home teacher's Japanese restaurant (Shawn loves their sushi), and looked at Christmas lights on the way home. At home we let the kids open their jammies, read the Christmas story from Luke and then left cookies out for Santa. Santa brought our family 3 games for the Wii - RockBand2, Beatles RockBand and Mario Kart. We all like to play them together and our Band skills are coming along quite well. The girls have also been doing lots of reading over the break - Felicity is reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Lydia has started the Magyk series (she is on book 2), and Evelyn finished a 5th grade level book in a couple of days(Franny K. Stein). I have been working on getting primary stuff ready for next year. Shawn has been doing some projects around the house - putting up Lydia's full-length mirror and the girls magnet strips that they got for Christmas, using his new snow blower, and hauling decoration boxes up and back down the stairs.
Today we woke up to a couple new inches of snow and it is still falling, so we may try to stay home today. We are doing laundry and will probably watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I hope to go through our files and shred old papers and get things ready for tax time too.
