Christmas Break from School

-
To kick Christmas break off right Dustin and I had a great time eating a festive holiday lunch at the elementary school with Loyd and Xavier.  I just love these special boys and all the adventure and challenge they bring into my life.  



We also took advantage of the long break from our regular school schedule to redecorate Rebekah and Maeve's bedroom.  We had too much fun thinking of how we wanted to change their room, shopping for furniture at Ikea, and then watching the vision come to life as we built and cleaned and organized their new look for their room.  Everyone is very happy with the results.  The girls are loving the newfound organization and wiggle room.  I'm loving how easy it is to keep clean, the fact that we have less stuff, and how cute it looks in here now.  What a fun way to spend a week with Rebekah!

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
