The One That Ended 2018

December 28, 2018 - January 1, 2019

Another weekend stretched into the next week to include a significant holiday!  Emma and Lara are both enjoying the extra time to relax and regroup over the break.  Emma went to Newkirk to her Grandpa Bruce's house to work for him a little bit, and that allowed Lara some one-on-one time with her Dad.  Everyone is making the most of the time we've been given!  Of course, the TV binge watching is still happening.  Plus, we discovered the iPhone app for the game Ticket to Ride, we all downloaded it, and now we are in a constant state of counting trains and making routes...  Mom got an Instant Pot for Christmas as well, so we've been cooking fun meals in that and trying to figure it all out.  So far, the quick hard boiled eggs are the biggest hit.  Great way to spend the break, I think!

Friday was a lazy day of cleaning up from Christmas, naps, video games, and board games.  Saturday, we finally left the house - where there were snow flurries! - to catch and OSU men's basketball game.  We love these games during the holiday break where the attendance is low so they sell tickets at a cheaper rate!  Makes a fun family outing very affordable!  We had a great time, and the kids got a picture with Pistol Pete!


Family Fun

We Love Pistol Pete!
Sunday was a typical church day - even though Lara went with her Dad in the morning she still came with us in the evening.  Monday arrived - NEW YEAR'S EVE!  Our beloved Oklahoma State University Cowboy Football team had a game today - they played the Missouri Tigers in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee, and brought home the victory!  We enjoyed watching the game as a family!  That night, everyone went their separate ways.  Lara rang in the new year babysitting for a repeat client - gotta keep gas in Jett the Jetta!

The New Year started on Tuesday, January 1.  Another slow, chill day.  The holiday break seems longer than usual, but  will take it!  Soaking up all the moments with my precious teenagers and the rest of my family.  Like they say, the days go slow but the years FLY by!
