The kids enjoyed having lots of freedom. We let them watch movies in bed at bedtime. They chose to be in the same bed.
December 22:
There was a lot of playing in the backyard...
Spray-painting "light sabers"...
And in the evening... "Sorry"...
December 23:
We joined our family at Meridian Woods. It was great to see familiar faces.
Then we were joined at Momo's by Cheryl (or as G used to call her, "Teacher"). We love our Momo's. :)
The rest of the day we continued to take easy.
December 24:
After midnight... in the early hours of Christmas Eve... this is where I found JR... playing with the train set all by himself. :)
There's nothing like playing outside in pajamas!
The kids can swing on their own!!!!!!!!!! (finally)
We had Craft-time...
Gingerbread houses...
We got to web-cam with Kelli, Brent, Simon, and Rachel. It was their Christmas morning.
We enjoyed the rest of our evening.

We open gifts... played...chilled...

JR had a "Man-Date" with Matt at Monks.
December 28:
My 33rd birthday...
I woke up to breakfast in bed (a la "Lady Grantham") which included a HUGE peppermint mocha from Starbucks.
The family watched "The Avengers" dvd that Gideon got JR for Christmas.
JR took me out for bison steak at Ted's Montana Grill before we saw "The Hobbit" in IMAX 3D.
It was a great birthday.
December 29:
More "chillin'" (which is one of the reasons we love going to Debby's...)
... and a huge bubble bath...
December 30:
Our last day with Debby...
JR preached at Meridian Woods...
Then we played and chilled... and JR took some photos...
Naomi "helped" with the Cal-Tex-Mex-Mix...
December 31:
We loaded up early and headed to Carrolton, GA to visit with the Mosiers...
The kids started playing together as if it was still an every-day thing.
We played out the last few hours of 2012 with Wii and darts, brownies, and laughter.
And... of course... there were Brian's fireworks...
Happy New Year!
