Christmas decorations are down and now it's time to put up Valentines. WOW! Another holiday season come and gone. I wanted so bad to bake up all sorts of delicious treats but as usual I never found the time. I think I will bake for Valentines Day instead, not quite so hectic. Our Holidays were great.
Dan got to stay home the week of Christmas until after New Years. I wouldn't say he really had it "off" because his phone continued to ring and he had to return emails almost every morning, but at least he was home! He was probably ready to go back and get some piece and quite at the office (comparatively).

I love having the kids home, but was ready for the structure that school brings.

We got to visit with Charlie, Raenie, Dallin and Kenzie for a couple of days. They flew to Utah and visited Reaenie's family and then drove here to come visit Grandparents and us. They have a wonderful family and Dallin and Kenzie are so beautiful. Char and Raenie look great too. What's your secret Raenie?!

Most of our break was spent playing Guitar Hero II. I am a rock star in my own mind! The kids didn't get to play it until about 2 days later when Dan and I started feeling guilty for not sharing. Sorry kids! They stayed busy shooting each other with their Nerf guns, Jayla included (she has to have something to protect herself from her crazy brothers).

Well life is back to "normal" now and time to think of what's coming up in the next year!
