post Christmas

The days after Christmas have been spent playing with the family.  They have been wonderful, of course.  We've done some shopping.  Some movies watching.  Some going out to eat.

 Yesterday we went to Rockin Jump Place.  It was a really a great choice.  The kids bounced around for an hour and had a blast.  It wasn't too crowded and even Marshall had lots of things he could do.

Going out to eat is always a treat.  We went to IHOP, crowded! And Olive Garden...also crowded, hmm.

This morning we went to the park so that the kids could run around and mainly so Tatum could use her skates.  That was her favorite Christmas present and she's been skating around the house for 3 days now.  Going to the park was great because she got to zip around to her hearts content.

Grace has had a lot of helpers for her robot, which has been awesome.  It's a hard task for her so help and encouragement is needed.

The girls and I went to the movies and saw "Sing".   They loved it.  I thought it was fine.

 Carrie Fischer died today.  She was Princess Leia, a hero in our house.  She was only 60 so that's surprising & sad.

The girls love Grandpa's jeep.  Greg took them for a ride and Tatum wants to go out again.

Some of the gang went to Valencia today.  They went to the fancy mall and/or go karting, depending. Grandpa and I stayed home with the kiddos.  

Happy Holidays!!
