christmas vacation

Once the fevers, germs, and ickies left our house, we were open for business again hosting several playdates with neighborhood friends. Really, it's just a revolving door with kids upstairs and downstairs involved in all kinds of chaos. The girls usually end up playing dress up and drinking punch from tea cups. 

The boys blew off some wild energy bouncing on our new trampoline. This seriously was the best gift for Miller, especially because he is FLAT worn out after bouncing for hours at a time with friends. I love how the boys match in their red coats flipping away on each bounce. 

 

We didn't move the mansion up to the bonus room during the break. Eliza Kate and her friend "E" liked to make quick stops on their way to the basement for Barbie time. The mansion is best played with friends who can assume different princess characters. Miller's even been spotted driving cars into the garage and fixing up Barbie's house. He's a handy man in training.

These two friends invented a Nerf gun battle with discs bouncing off the net. Between dodge ball, speed skating in circles and popping popcorn with playground balls the possibilities on this new attraction are endless:)
Here's to Christmas break and our lazy days enjoying all of the blessings from Christmas. Feeling thankful for our days together!
