The Holidays

The holiday break has been great. No work, no school, and a lot of time with Kindra and the girls. Some of the highlights include games of broom hockey, seeing Kierra open her new trike, time with family (immediate and extended), taking my family to places that I used to visit as a kid (kissing camels at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs and Traildust, one of my favorite restaurants growing up), playing games with my parents, sledding with Kindra, enjoying a mini-date at the Denver airport while we earned ourselves some free vouchers, and just relaxing. I feel rejuvenated and ready to be back in school. I am going to include some of our holiday traditions. If you have fun traditions, then please respond with them.

-Christmas Eve egg nog
-Cap'n Crunch Christmas morning
-Biscuits and Gravy Christmas brunch (I promise they are not all food)
-Christmas card DVD
-New Years' predictions buried in a time capsule (we still can't get to last years because of snow)
-Board games
-Resolutions
That gives you an idea. If there are some you would like to share, let's hear them.

I better close with what people actually read my blog for...Kierra quotes:
-"Don't do that ever again forever."
-"My poop can't come out...it's confusing."
-"Why is Jesus naked in the middle?" (after looking at a statue of Jesus in a robe)
-"I can't have a binky because I am not little yet."

Good ones Kierra- your dad has confusing poo too- don't feel bad. I love the Traildust too and immediately recognized the slide. Some of our traditions (old and new) eat Christmas dinner in Christmas pajamas, watch family video of our family that year on New Years day, read THe NIght Before Christmas, watch a Christmas Movie (this year- The Santa Claus), and homemade caramel!

Tell Kierra her "poo" will get less confused if she drinks yummy prune juice.

One of our traditions for Christmas is to have finger foods on Christmas Eve and, if possible, go to a movie on Christmas. Also, I have a rule the kids can't wake me up before 8am. What's funny is every year I end up having to wake them up!

We had a great time with the Utah Fairhursts. Its way to lonely since you've been gone. COME BACK!! Our favorite new tradition is the Christmas jar. We throw our spare change into a jar through the year. Then a couple weeks before Christmas we post a picture of the jar on our family website so everyone gets a chance to guess the total. The closest guess wins the money! We use a new jar each year- no cheating allowed.
