Christmas Vacation and Happy New Year!

We had a really great week spending a lot of time as a family because Bill had the entire week off.  Woo hoo!  We also got together with some old friends throughout the week which was a lot of fun.  New Year's Eve was pretty low key at our house with a couple of friends and  we visited Missy in the hospital because she is on strict bed rest.  It was a fun night and I've realized I'm getting too old to stay up until 2am with young kids.  On New Year's Day, we took down the Christmas decorations, relaxed and spent a lot of time outside playing with our neighbors because it was such a gorgeous day.  Tomorrow, Bill goes back to work to start Busy Season Part II.  I've really enjoyed our Christmas Vacation and I'm hoping the month of January will go by very quickly.  Here are some pictures from our week:

Madelyn and Ellie with the Phan boys.  Madelyn is already planning her trip to San Diego because she loved playing with Brett so much!

Night out with our neighbors.  We went to tacky lights, got Mexican and did a little gift exchange afterwards!

Ellie did NOT want to be part of this picture!

Love these kids!  Our yearly photo with the Moore boys.  Next year we will have 5 little ones in front of the Christmas tree!

Sparkling cider and dessert is a must on New Year's Eve!

Madelyn was a big fan of her beverage!

Ellie was not a fan of her New Year's beverage!
