James, the kids, and I have spent the last few days opening and playing with the various toys they recieved for Christmas. Yesterday we all sat down and put puzzle after puzzle together and played with the Lincoln Logs (from Aunt Brandi) that I am sure I stepped on about a hundred times :) They have watched movies on their new VCR/DVD player and played "truck attack" with the two remote control cars that Zach got. James and I found time to go to Red Lobster and use our gift cards (yum yummy) and we officially ended Christmas by taking down all the decorations and preparing for the new year.
Although the week had been busy, the kids decided that the fun was to be continued and that it was time to play with Zachery's play-doh, the girls play-doh set (ice cream shoppe), and Quentin's moon sand. They all had a blast making all sorts of food for James and I to eat. The food ranged any where from whole fish to ice cream cones and Quentin even made some dinosaur stew out of moon sand for us to enjoy. We have had so much fun, we almost wish time could freeze for awhile and James wouldn't have to go back to work and the kids and I wouldn't have to go back to school, but we have decided that we are going to make sure we make time for these kinds of activities and we are going to enjoy being a family at all times. Even when the hussle and bussle of life get in the way!
