We had a wonderful break at home together. Joe was able to take a little time away to spend with me and the boys the week after Christmas and around New Years, before Cole went back to school. The hardest and most sad part, was that my sweet Grandma Hervig died on December 26 very unexpectedly. We were all shocked and surprised at the phone call and it has been so sad to imagine her not being around. She passed away peacefully in her sleep, and we are grateful for that.
We had a good amount of snow on Christmas day, that stayed long enough for us to enjoy it the next day, too. The boys had a lot of fun playing in it, as did Molly! We "sledded" down the driveway on a baking sheet. Yep, thats how we do it around here. It didn't matter, they had a blast.
We all went to see Rise of the Guardians. We loved that movie so much that I think we saw it in the theater 3 different times! It was an awesome family day - we truly love movie dates. Another day we went to the Gaylord Texan Hotel and saw the Madagascar Ice exhibit. So much fun! Well, honestly... all in all - we loved it, froze to death, but won't go back again for a while. It was a neat experience, but it was just too cold and the boys didn't really appreciate that it was all made from ice. I mean, really, a whole bunch of ice. Joe and I loved the art of it and appreciated the work, but Cole and Owen were less than impressed. The hotel is spectacular at Christmas and we loved being there, and we ate dinner at Uncle Russell's old restaurant, which that part we all enjoyed. :)
