Maimi

It sounds like I will be doing a lot of traveling for work this year. It's not something I am looking forward to but I guess I'll make the best as I can of the situation. This week I headed to Miami. Sean put a little present in my bag, I almost left the airport and came back home when I found it. 

The skies were beautiful during the flights. 

 And the view from the hotel wasn't bad either. I didn't get to experience the ocean or really get outside but I did see a huge iguana enjoying the green on the golf course.  

Odds & Ends

More amazing MT skies. 

We enjoyed New Year's Day at home with the McCoy's. It was nice to use our new space in the basement to spread out, enjoy Ethan's new toy. 

 The kids and I took in the new Grinch movie over break. I'm amazed how fast these two can eat a large popcorn!

 Since the house projects have slowed down we've enjoyed doing a few relaxing things. Mikayla has hooked Ethan into a couple of really hard puzzles. She last about 5 mins and then he can't stop until it's done. 

 We are working on getting my office officially set up. We still have to finish the part that will be my desk and finish organizing everything but it is coming along. 

Christmas

This year I found it hard to get into the holiday spirit. We got the tree up over the course of a few days since we all seemed so busy and never home at the same time.

 The school Christmas concert was fun. Mikayla was excited about her new dress that Grandma Barb got her. 

 Grandma and Grandpa Jung joined us for the concert. Sean read to Grandma while we were waiting to leave. 

 We were shopping for shoes a few months ago and Mikayla saw these little black heels. I told her she could get them but couldn't wear them until Christmas. I forgot about them but luckily she did not. Sean's shoes on the other hand...

 The Kindergarten classes had a polar express party the last day before break. Each one decorated a traincar for their parade through the school. 

 We spent Christmas Eve with Grandma and Grandpa Jung, and attended Christmas Eve service. The kids worked on their lego sets and Grandpa was a big help to Mikayla. 

 A quick snowstorm came in and made beautiful scenery. 

 Christmas morning we woke up and opened presents at home before, mom, the kids and I headed to Kyle and Cami's for the day/night. Ethan had to work the next day so he stayed home and enjoyed a quiet day. 

 Cami only let Kyle hand his Elk horns in the main living area so she could do this at Christmas. 

 Team effort at prepping the prime rib dinner. 

 It turned out amazing!

 Sean and I enjoyed old school Super Mario while everyone else worked hard at dinner. 

 A good amount of snow came in Christmas night. Mikayla wanted to help Uncle Kyle clear the driveway before we headed back home.
