Happy New Year!

The kids met their goal of staying up later than they ever have. We watched TV, had snacks, played board games, read and played video games. While their dad was reading to them, I had interrupted to ask a question about the story because my mind wandered. After it was answered and he went to go back to reading, he took too long for one of the kids and was asked, "Are you going to read?" She has the patience of her mother and I couldn't help but laugh at her question.

We are going to spend part of our day taking down the Christmas trees and perhaps some of the nativities. There are a couple of rooms that I want to deep clean and that will determine how much of the Christmas decorations come down. The girls are wanting to get our snowmen decorations up and have commented for days that it was close enough to January that we could them out.
