We had a pretty laid back winter break. Christmas was so close to the beginning of it that we ended up with a lot more downtime AFTER Christmas that we weren't used to. Once Grandma and Papa G left we still had another weekend before school started again.
Saturday Dillon was invited to be part of Zack's (a friend from soccer a couple years ago) Christmas "experience gift" going to the go carts. Carson was able to go also so it was a fun day for the boys. Since I wasn't there, and Daddy was driving too, we don't have any pictures of the actual driving. They came home and Carson said "Our family should all go do go carts. Mommy can take pictures!" Apparently I don't get to drive one!
Saturday night the power went out due to a big windstorm that came through the area. The kids were all spending the night at Grandma and Papa H's house while Mommy and Daddy had a date night. We got up there to get them right away in the morning since their power was out too and I thought they may be a little harder to entertain than normal. When we came home we snuggled up around the fire and played card games. When it started getting dark we pulled out the oil lamps and some little backpacking lanterns Auntie Kina gave them for Christmas. We set the kids up to spend the night down by the fire. It didn't end up being necessary since the power came back on about midnight. School ended up being delayed two hours which was a great way to ease back into school. I'm glad it didn't end up being cancelled and to be made up later in the year!
