After Christmas

Between Mike and I, we only had to get a babysitter two days during the Christmas break, even though the kids were out of school for 10 days.  Mike was also in need of trying to use some break/vacation time.  So, we were able to spend a couple of days in Price.

Mike's parents had a little project they needed some help with, and I was just glad to let the kids play with their cousins.  We traveled to Price on Thursday evening.  It was a bad weather day and made the drive slow, but other than that, it wasn't bad (mostly people going slower than needed).

Once in Price that evening, Mike did the demo of the master bathroom floor.  It only took a couple of hours, then they were ready to go the next morning with putting in a new sub floor, and laying tile.  Mike and Andrew got in the sub floor and laid the tile.  That night, they watched the old Tron movie and then ran off to see the new Tron movie with the older nephews.  On Saturday Mike hoped to be around long enough to grout the bathroom floor, but got called into work, so home we went.

I made plans to go over to Melinda's for New Year's Eve that night (knowing that Mike would be at work, and it wouldn't be any fun to just hang out at home).  She had asked that I bring a craft, to which I could not oblige, but she was nice enough to let me come hang out anyway.  And luckily there were other crafts that the kids got to enjoy.  And enjoy they did.

It's so fun to see Elina and Eliza together!

Emma loved playing with all the girls (that wasn't Ashton favorite part)

Because of Elina, we left before they celebrated the New Year, but it was fun for the kids to play.  Thanks Melinda for letting us come hang out!!!

Micah is totally like Ashton when he goes to Melinda's....surrounded by girls! Looks like you had fun even though you were so tired.

Isn't Melinda the bomb? She let me come even though we got into town the night before and didn't bring an activity/craft either!

It was fun to see you there.
