The forgotten week

That five days in between Christmas and New Years is just weird. Routines are off, meals are a hodge podge of leftovers, stale treats and heating up tater tots. 

It's no man's land.

We're in a holiday fog.

We managed a few things...

AJ picked up her official driver's permit!

I'm working on my paint by number. It's coming along,

The ward held their ice skating party....it was "winter raining". 

I sat in the truck. I draw the line at watching ice skating and getting soaked. I had a nice nap and Megan took pictures for me! I know I'm lame and totally no fun.

Even though I bark at her alot and tell her to "stop parenting your sisters", I am really glad that she's so good at stepping in when I am snoozing in the truck. 

We held our 3rd annual Power Hour at the gym and Mark set it up so that there was a big rowing race at the end with little boats to show who was winning. It was super cool. People suffering on the floor is a sure sign. 

I'm glad this weird week is over. Lets take down the tree and get organized. 
 

Black Light Rolladium

 We have several activities on our bucket list that are there just because we bought a Pogo Pass for the summer. The Rolladium is not one we would have done otherwise...it was SOOOO far away (Liberty!) But hey, I've always been down to spend a buck just because we saved a buck. 

And this place turned out to be pretty cool.

The black lights were legit.

There were a few grumps in the group...but after a few hot dogs and a round of slurpees, everyone was in the mood to skate!

We skate

 It's never too late to ice skate. Looks like it's just us ladies this year. 

We stopped at the Giving Machine and selected a few items we could donate. A very cool idea! It's like a vending machine, except you buy a goat for someone, instead of a stale bag of cheezits. 

A clear win-win.  

The weather was perfect.

The cookies were plentiful.

And the cocoa was self-serve...just how we like it. 

Everybody found a friend. 

I love these babies of mine!!
