Holiday Down Time

The rest of our Christmas vacation was pretty laid back. I had a few days to finish up at work in the church office and the kids love going in with me (because I print coloring pages for them to color all day!)  Cameron found the dry erase board in and did a great job at drawing our church.

The weather was so warm and sunny the whole time, we took advantage and got outside as much as possible.  We hit several parks, the zoo and got to hang with some our our buddies we don't get to see much anymore since school started.

Lots of snuggle time with Daddy!  Young business has been incredibly blessed the first year but that means he is working very, very hard trying to keep up.  He isn't home much these days so any time with Daddy is so special.  (We're praying for wisdom on how to expand his business so he can have more time at home)

Playing with Christmas toys!  Lots of new toys and games to keep them busy.  They both put their lego projects together almost 100% by themselves!  Cameron loved her spirograph (I had one as a kids and remember loving it too).  And for some reason I don't have any pictures of them playing Battleship, but they played that game constantly.  Timo received it but Cameron loved playing to too!  As much as I would try to get them to play by the rules, they would give each other hints as to where their ships were.

The weather gave us some great days to go hiking and see some beautiful sunsets.  We took an extra long hike one day that started in the afternoon but ended after sunset...hiking in the woods in the dark...not so much fun, just FYI.  Thank goodness for cell phones to give us light to see where to walk!  Daddy just seems to like to keep walking and walking, not thinking about the time it will take to walk back......

Frozen!  We got to take in a movie, Frozen, and LOVED it!  Cameron isn't much of a princess girl but she loved this movie.  We had Walking with Dinosaurs on the agenda too but note to self, movies don't last long in theaters anymore...go opening weekend or you'll miss it!  Oops.

Eating out is always a highlight an we got to check out a few places.  The Boudin Factory at the Warf was a hit with the turtle sourdough bread.  And we ate with a view downtown at the newly renovated Season's.

We rang in the new year quietly with some friends, the Haskins.  Timo and Cameron recited the Korean New Years greeting to receive their gifts and then we spent the rest of New Years Day eating the traditional Korean BBQ with our friends, the Rosas.  They had 1year old twin girls and Timo and Cameron loved making funny faces to make them laugh.

And the rest of the time was spent just being a kid, using imaginations and having fun.  The kids had plenty of adventures of their own...ship sailing, superheros, indoor picnics, dino attacks and much, much, more.
