The tree came down yesterday, well at least the main tree, and the house is getting put back together from a the Holiday season. It stretched for about 3 weeks this year and was great. EC was early but all the kids were able to make it back for the weekend, boyfriends made appearances too. There was all the normal visits around town and as much food as you could pack into a 36 hour time slot. Grandprize heated up the garage and we all watch the Packer game with Lasagna filled bellies. Back home Amy and I had two more days of work, but that was a nice trade off for a two full weeks of break. Ella was home and getting ready for her teacher placement which started today. Sophia was out of town for Christmas eve, missing out on Spaghetti, pool & pull tabs but she made an early morning drive to make it back to use for a Christmas day breakfast and then we headed to TR to continue the Christmas gatherings. All the days and evenings in between...we relaxed, we read, we played games. It was a great break. Now the days are getting longer and the schedules are getting quieter for Amy and I, although it is ramping up for the kids.
