Winter Break

I think that somehow if I don't write about it then it's really not over?!? I was more sad to see the winter break pass than the kids were - although Chase did admit he shed a few tears when he was hanging his coat up at school on Monday morning.  He said his teacher told him it was ok because she felt like crying about coming back to school too!  Thanks to the cold weather he got to go in late today and will again tomorrow, so we are slowly getting back in the swing of things.  Taylor, on the other hand, could not get in her classroom fast enough this morning!  Never looked back or said goodbye!  Here's a glance at how we passed our time:

Bowling.

 The science museum.  We took Dave and MeMa with us.  They are science museum nerds, could have stayed there all day!

 In the recording studio. 

 Recording their #1 hit song.

 Checking out his jump shot.

 Kids playing with the buttons and Dave deep in thought!

 Taylor even touched the rat after the rat basketball game.  I don't know why either.

 There was a trip to Build-A-Bear.

 Waiting for the fluff.

 Giving Hello Kitty a bath and blow dry.

 Picking out a name...he came up with RG3, very original.  Taylor's was "kitty"!

Packed them up and ready to take them home!

We played the claw machine what seemed like 2.4 million times.

There were some victories, including Taylor's first win.  It was exciting.  

We capped off the holidays with an exciting New Year's Eve.....4 people in 1 chair watching cartoons!  And that, apparently, is where the picture taking stopped!  It's been fun!
