Christmas came and went in a flash. It’s always a bit of a bummer once Christmas is done. There is so much going on from the time school starts until Christmas, then everything kind of slows down for the more uneventful months of January and February. The girls had the week between Christmas and New Years off from school, so we decided to get in a little fun around here. We went bowling one day, tried out Top Golf another day, and the girls got their first crack at climbing a 30-foot rock wall at a place we went indoor swimming, did a little shopping, spent some time with friends, and generally just hung around. The photos were all taken with my phone camera, so they aren’t the greatest.
While Mark had been to Top Golf before, this was the girls and my first experience there. It’s a cool concept and we definitely had a fun time there, but it’s a pricey way to spend and hour or two (if you’re going in the evening), but fun nonetheless.
Nina and Lyla both took on the challenge of climbing a 30-ft rock wall. We were at a location where they could do both the rock wall and indoor swimming, so we decided to do the rock wall first before they got too wet and tired. They both made it to the top!
Of course we visited our favorites of Chick Fil-A and Sweet Frog over the break, and Cayenne got plenty of snuggle time and attention with the girls home.
We celebrated the end of 2016 with Mark’s homemade sushi for dinner then we went to a friend’s house for the rest of the evening. Cayenne and I were the only two still awake when it officially turned 2017, so I’m sure you can guess the type of new year kiss I got!
The kids went back to school on Tuesday, the Christmas decorations are down, and we’re getting back into the routine again. It was a fun holiday season while it lasted, but all good things (extra food, wine, cookies, activities, late nights) must get reeled back in at some point, so happy 2017 and here’s hoping it’s sunny and 80’s by March 1st!
