Neighbors can make days off school so much better. We finished 2015 needing sleep, playing and having dinner at neighbor's homes, having neighbors come play at our house, loving new gifts, and having too much screen time and junk food.
N loves the train table a friend from church gave to us, M loved playing ballerina all day, and D set up some pretty fun army guy scenes to play with.
My 3 oldest kids all did a great job getting their teeth cleaned. M's teeth were so clean her check up was super fast and D giggled almost the entire time. K was a real trooper! Not only did she get cleaned and check on, her loose tooth got pulled, a sealant was replaced, and new sealants were put on those 6 year molars that finally decided to come all the way through. I was so proud of her! Most of the next day she just chilled out on the sofa and even took a nap!
On Wednesday my mom babysat so hubby and I could see The Force Awakens in the theater and eat at Cafe Rio. N and D were so excited for us to go! K and D are hoping we will take them to the theater too but we are still undecided as to whether we should make them wait for the Blu Ray release or not. Although it stays true to the original Star Wars trilogy, it's pretty intense. I don't want my 1st and 2nd grader getting nightmares -- but they do love Star Wars so much. Decisions, decisions.
M and D went to ninja camp together and D attended more half day soccer clinics during our week off. At one point the bunny got made a home inside the house instead of in the garage because the temperatures were dropping so low at night. M gave him a little homework while he was inside by asking him to pay attention as she read to him.
And then the very last day of the year we had a great time at the E. house when they hosted a New Year's Eve party for some of the neighborhood families. I have to say, their new puppy, Ollie was the hit of the party! It was so nice to see neighbors that we haven't seen for a while due to the cold. Here's to a wonderful 2016!
