supifam: Christmas break

I just loved how the dates for Christmas break landed this year! It was great the kids last day of school was a half day on Thursday 12/15 and they didn't have to go back until Tuesday 1/3 it almost felt like we had 3 weeks off instead of two. The first week of break we spent up in Sonora and doing lots of Christmas preparations and then the week after Christmas was just got to chill and have fun. It was super awesome because Spencer's office was closed all week. He still went in a few hours here and there but mostly he was home and we were able to have lots of great family quality time. The day after Christmas we all slept in! We were super tired so this was a big treat! The kids played all morning with all there new toys and they love their new Kindle's from Nana and Papa

I was able to get a run that morning and wear my new shoes.

Then we we met up with my aunt for the day. Sad I didn't get any pictures. Her and her wife were staying at hotel in town for a couple nights and the plan was to all hang out but her wife Shelly pulled out her back and stayed in the room and rested the whole day, we felt so bad for her. We went and picked up aunt pat and went to sushi for lunch and then went to Target to get the move Storks and all came home for a matinee at our house. Super cute movie. Then we took Aunt pat back to the hotel so she could be with Shelly and we came home to play and eat left overs. So good!!!

Tuesday 12/27 was another lazy morning of playing and building.

That afternoon we took the kids bowling and had a blast!

Wednesday 12/28 was a day daddy went into the office for a little bit so we met up with him for lunch at Pizza Factory and then had a play date with Ander and Kendal in the afternoon.

After Ander left Carter hung with the girls.

Thursday 12/29 we went up to Turlock to met Titi for the day. First up ice skating!!

I was so excited to just have a day with the kids and my sister she is so much fun!!

The Turlock ice skating rink is great!! I really love it and I have decided I really want my own skates! Ice skating is a real passion of mine and I would do it all the time if I could. This year it was a little harder for the kids. Aubrey was really getting the hang of it last year but this year she has been a little more nervous. But she does keep trying and skated for the whole 2 hour time limit.

Carter on the other hand likes it for like 40 minutes and then the skates really bother him. Anything uncomfortable bothers him though.

He still has fun and loves to watch so that's good. and he does try and that's all I ask.

After 2 hours of skating we were ready for some lunch! We went to Chili's and had a nice lunch.

After lunch we did some shopping at Old Navy and then went over to Target and look what we found.....

Yep Hatchimals! The number one toy this season! People were fitting over these things before Christmas. Aubrey had it on her list but since they were so hard to find we had convinced her it was something she could get after Christmas with her Christmas money. I had no idea we would find them this quick after Christmas.

Both kids had enough money to buy one and with all the excitement Carter wanted one too but we talked him out of it and he bought a new race car for daddy's track.
