Whirlwind Christmas Break

The boys and I had two weeks off for Christmas break and Matt had several days off. We saw both Sean and Bradley's Christmas plays, celebrated Matt's birthday, went to the Hersteins on Christmas Eve, my parents' house on Christmas (they had just come back from Dubai and India!), went up north after Christmas, and enjoyed a quiet evening at home for New Year's.

Bradley's play was adorable. He was one of the youngest students up there. He just stood there and didn't move his mouth while the other kids sang around him. haha. I am just glad he didn't cry and run off the stage. Bradley was brave for his first time up there! He is in the front row below third from left.



Sean's play was great. They learned three songs and stood on risers. Sean sang through all the songs and did all the hand movements. He has come a long way from preschool to kindergarten! No stage fright anymore!

The kids really loved Christmas because they both understood Santa Claus and the story of Jesus. It made for a special, magical holiday. They both loved seeing Santa Claus at Somerset and obviously loved opening presents on Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Up north, Sean went skiing for the first time. He was hesitant but after trying he didn't want to leave the bunny hill. We will be going up north several times this winter to get more practice in. Bradley wanted to ski, but we thought he was too young. Luckily, we found strap on skis that he could try in the backyard. We bought Sean some too so they can both "ski" in our backyard in Troy when we can't hit the slopes.



New Year's was just the 4 of us at home. The kids made it to 9:30pm. haha. I am surprised Matt and I made it to midnight! We had our traditional PF Changs carry out.

Here's hoping 2015 will be even better than 2014! Happy New Year!
