January 1, 2006- Part 2

I want to start out by saying you should ALL go see “Night at the Museum”!!! It was such a fantastic movie and I thought Ben Stiller was great in it. We took the kids over Christmas break and laughed through the whole thing!

Anyway, continuing from yesterdays blog (Part 1)...We had a prefect Christmas. It was so relaxing and well, just perfect. The kids got great gifts and they played with their new stuff all day. We had crepes in the morning and enjoyed a turkey dinner in the evening. We also watched lots of fun movies.

On Tuesday, the kids had gymnastics and Bob’s parents and brother, Jeff, arrived. We spent lots of time watching movies and hooking up the 5 computers to play “Midtown madness”. We went to the special Japanese Restaurant called “Osaka” where they cook your food in front of you. The food was excellent and it was very entertaining. It was our way of celebrating our family finishing reading the Old Testament! We also went out shopping to spend our Christmas money.

This weekend Bob took the kids to Illinois to play at the Harts home and celebrate New Years. I stayed here to get my mile high pile of things to do done. The last day of school I turned in all my teaching applications and portfolio. It looks like there may not be any jobs available this coming year, but there will be next year when they expand a new middle school. So, I guess I will just see what happens. Another year of subbing may be in the cards. So, anyway, I have enjoyed a quiet weekend and hae gotten so much done. Its amazing what you can do when you don’t have to constantly be on your toes making sure no one cuts their hair off!!

We are excited for this new year to come and , as always, wonder what it has in store for us. We wish all of you a Happy New Year and may your year be filled with health and happiness!

Love,
kris and family
