The rest of Christmas break and getting back into the swing of things

When we got back from Utah, we still had another week off of school to play!
Highlights included:

• Going to lunch with elementary school friends that I have known since I was four!

• Having my cousin, Hannah, and her husband, Jack, over to stay with us for a night while they were in Arizona for a friend's wedding 

• lots of play dates and playing outside

• A trip to Uptown Jungle (which is a highlight for Jack and David - it's their favorite play - and not so much of a highlight for me - I hate indoor play places! haha)

David insisted on wearing size 3T pants and ended up ripping them! haha

On the way out he said he would just put his hands in the hole so it looked like a pocket... mmmm....

It was nice getting back into the swing of things last week. My photo dump with descriptions: 

• A picture of Spencer and his new Christmas present - Santa left him wood to make a box jump for working out and he finished it on Saturday! haha

      

• Kate's annoying new phase of wanting to take her "mee meek" (blanket) and "bee bees" (every single stuffed animal she owns) with her in the car.

      

• Jack and David's first experience with an ice cream truck. They now know it comes to our neighborhood every Wednesday afternoon so this could become quite the habit :)

• Picking citrus at a ward member's house - they said that we can come every week for the rest of the season - I am so excited! 

• Jack was Student of the Month this month. Last year, I totally forgot to show up for the award ceremony when he got it last year, so I think they should have recognized me too for getting a legit "Mother of the Month" award for remembering!!!
