Christmas break was a much needed break this year. With online schooling, school work and Ms. Stephanie dying we all need time to just heal and hang out. The first part we went to Umma and Uppa's, of course, for Christmas Eve and Christmas. Just being away from the daily grind of school work and chores was amazing. Christmas Eve was of course amazing, as usual. Umma and Uppa pull out all the stops for Christmas. All three kids got Nintendo Switches!! Jack said, beside getting Robin for Christmas it was the best one he ever had. Jacob's face was priceless as he realized what it was. For a kid that doesn't show his emotions on the outside for very long it was a knock-down reaction. His mouth was agape, his eyes wide and ended with a huge smile. His pubescent voice squeaky at Uppa about how amazing it was. Amelia and Jack had equally amazed reactions. Needless to say Christmas day was very quiet. lol
Christmas day we went to Gramma Sharpes' since 1) Mike and family was gone to Hawaii and we weren't seeing any other family members on Dan's side and 2) Gramma has better wifi so the kids could setup their Nintendo Switches faster.
A fun adventure the boys had was John took them wheeling the Saturday after Christmas. We all were hoping they would get a chance to go sometime but it finally happened! All of them, including Dan, came back with big smiles and stories to tell about the day. Needless to say they had a blast! And John is officially cemented as the best uncle ever!
The rest of the break was all about hanging out at the house. It is amazing how little can get done in a whole week. I am praying that our transition back into school goes smoothly, fingers crossed.
