Christmas Break was great this year. Brian basically took two weeks off, and it was so nice having him home. We also got a visit from one of our favorite families in the whole world--Michael, Kristina, and Lydia. They came to our house, and we had lunch and talked. And it was wonderful.
And we HAD to take the traditional Michaels picture
We also got to hang out a lot with Lea's family. One night, Shayne invited Brian over for games, so I invited Lea over to our house. We took Michael, Rachel, and Danny with us. We knew it was going to be a late night--we didn't even start this affair until after 7--so I got a sleeping bag for Danny to sleep in. Michael wanted one too, so I got one for him. The sleeping bags formed an upside down T when I laid them out, with the foot of Danny's sleeping bag touching the middle of Michael's. Well, when we went to check on them after they had both fallen asleep, this is how we found them:
I guess they just couldn't stand to not be close. We decided to just keep Danny for the night.
And for New Year's Eve, we went to Lea and Shayne's house to celebrate. Michael and Danny watched Despicable Me 2, and then they danced to the closing credits song.
Love little footed jammies. Love this boy!
Lea humored me and let me do an early count down for Michael (and the other little guys) so I could lay him down. Michael doesn't sleep in, and I didn't want a super cranky boy the next day. But, I also didn't want him to miss the funness of New Year's Eve. We looked up the recording of the Dubai fireworks, did a count down, toasted in the "New Year", and watched the fireworks on Lea's laptop.
Ethan came with us. He wanted to ring in the new year by killing Zombies in Halo, and he knew that's what the big boys would be doing.
And I got to enjoy some sparkling grape juice.
Happy (late) New Year everybody!
