Family time

We had a great time over Christmas break. Matt had the week off between Christmas and New Years so we had tons of great family time. I'm convinced that the "stay cation" is the way to go. I'm sure this doesn't surprise anyone who knows me as the homebody I am.

The boys and I started out our break by making "white trash". We munched on it for the whole two weeks. You start with these,
mix it with this,
to create this yummy treat!
Warning: You may have to spread it out with your hand which will result in this,
but you can just enlist the help of an eager eater to do this,
Problem solved!

We had a great Christmas, celebrating with lots of family! We had four different family celebrations and then our family's' on Christmas morning.



Matt and I took the boys to see the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. They loved it and it was Colin's first movie in the theater. He did great! We also took them to see Sesame Street Live. It was super fun! We took Evan and Jake to see a Sesame Street Live show two years ago and decided that Colin would really enjoy it this year. We were right!



It was great to start out the new year coming off such an awesome family time. Happy 2010!

  1. Looks like you guys have had lots of fun the last couple weeks! I'm so glad you got to take the boys to Sesame Street Live! Kaicee and Breck loved it when we took them a couple years ago and I'm sure Taylor would love it too! We need to get our families together! I'll call you this week...maybe we can plan something! Matt and Brooks get to chat at breakfast so it's only fair that we get to spend some time together too! ;) We could do daytime with the kiddo's or evening with the hubby's too.
