in a nutshell

Kids go back to school tomorrow. Boo! BUT we had quite the exciting two weeks, if I do say so myself.
We started here:

We went to the indoor water park (no pictures).

Grandma and Papa (and Uncle Adam) arrived:

Christmas Eve arrived...

 

Christmas morning came

 

We went to the "city" (it still cracks me up that people call it that) THREE times.

Time #1:



 

Time #2, for a should-have-been-more-awesome football game:

 (The garlic fries were awesome.)

Time #3. Biking the GG Bridge=so iconically American, and awesome.

Someone finally started walking...

We headed up high (elevation-wise) for NYE...

 ...and played games (reverse charades here) with some of our best friends. So fun being packed in tight.

And we found barely enough snow to cover the ground (and to sled) at 8000 feet:

Hey, rest of the US...send some of the precipitation this way!

It ended with puking, as the holidays usually do.

I just wish we had one more week!
