We have had the BEST Christmas Break thus far. It has been the perfect balance of productivity, relaxation, and fun. Derek had the first week of our break completely off from work with us, and then he only had to work three days this week...it has been glorious having so much time with him at home! He spent the first couple of days in the garage getting a lot of maintenance/repairs done to our cars. Since then we've played board games galore, we went to the movie theater to see Sing 2, took a day trip to Lost Maples, finally got Shelby a dresser from Ikea & rearranged her room, installed our last set of plantation shutters in the upstairs bedrooms{yay!!}, the girls have written countless letters to their friends, and we've watched lots of bowl games together!
The kids & I took a little trip to La Cantera yesterday while Derek was at work to spend the girls' gift cards & Christmas money. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. It was a perfect day to be walking around La Cantera, and we even enjoyed our Chick-fil-a lunch al fresco!
Today was New Year's Eve, and we spent the morning at Chicken N Pickle {which is similar to Top Golf except instead of golf it's with pickle ball and various other outdoor sports.} We played pickle ball & bocce ball before coming home to watching the college football playoff games. We let the kids stay up late for the first time ever on NYE, and we made cookies & shot off fireworks together. It was a fun night! GO DAWGS!
