I had a wonderful four weeks hanging out with my family.
The kids came back home for Christmas Break,
and I fell off the wagon with my low carb diet.
No biggie!
Take a look at what we did the past four weeks.
As you know, I went wine tasting with Austin.
This picture above was taken at Hart2Hart Vineyard.
The next day, Alexxa accompanied me to Jose Wine Caves.
Lexx doesn't drink, so I was forced to do all the tasting.
I know,
poor me!
So there was wine tasting in the afternoon,
and a movie in the evening.
We HAD to go see the new Star Wars movie
at Studio Movie Grill.
It was a pretty good movie if you are in to Star Wars.
On Christmas Eve we went to our favorite
Chinese food restaurant, and enjoyed their
seafood buffet. It was delicious, and different
from anything we have ever done before during the holidays.
The next day, Christmas, we started off the day at our house,
and then celebrated at my Father-in-law's house in the afternoon.
It was such a nice get together.
Fairly small, and very low key.
On Dec. 26th we drove to my parent's house in Oregon.
We spent a total of four very relaxing days there.
Like I posted previously,
there was lots of playing in the snow,

Like I posted previously,
there was lots of playing in the snow,
snowmobile riding, eating and sleeping.
When we returned home,
we celebrated New Years by falling asleep around 10 PM.
You have to start the new year off right,
and if I don't get my straight 8...
you don't even want to know what would happen.
Todd and I had to return to work,
and the kids helped do stuff around the house while we worked.
Our goats had some new babies,
so the kids dedicated lots of time to the other kids.
Austin and Todd helped Amber and Robb
on the house they're building.
Lexx and I visited thrift stores in search
of some appropriate work clothes that
she could wear to her Internship.
Before you know it,
it was the end of the kids winter break
and they were headed back to school.
Now the house is a little cleaner,
much more quiet, and way more boring.
I can say that the only positive is
that now I won't be carb loading like I'm
about to run a marathon.
I've already started to get my diet back on track
and eat like a normal adult.
It was a busy and wonderful past four weeks
Now I'm SUPER looking forward to Spring Break!

Hasn't Alexxa taught you to say "super duper" instead of just "super"?? Time just goes by too fast!! Great pictures, as always. AA
I don't usually say "super duper" because it's Lexxa's thing. Might get in trouble if I steal the phrase! ;)
