Christmas Break

So fun having our kids home for Christmas. We took Xander shopping and to lunch at Skyline.

Storing up all the Xander hugs I can get!

They barely made it out!

The day after Christmas we saw Scrooge at La Comedia. We usually love this place but we chose to see the matinee which turned out to be an utter disaster! It took forever for the show to actually start; we were literally sitting there for 3 hours before the curtain went up. The food was fine and the show was okay but I think we were all so irritated that we spent the majority of our day at the theater that it soured the whole experience for us.

The group that made it to the end, ha ha! The guys had a tee time and left at intermission and Mom and Bryan practically ran to their car afterwards so we didn't even get to say goodbye to them. We were all smiles to be out of the theater at this point!

They guys enjoying some golf and the fact that they hadn't had to sit through another second of the play.

Girls night to Barnes and Noble!

Anaconda with Paul Rudd and Jack Black was hilarious!

Lots of Cleo cuddles! Xander sure does love his dog!

Old Scratch pizza is super yummy!

What are the chances?!?!? Michelle had texted me several days before to let me know she would be at the temple in Columbus for a sealing and wondered if there was any way we could meet up. The sealing was around the same time that we had scheduled family baptisms! Tender mercies from the Lord, I tell ya!

It is always such a wonderful time being in the temple together.
