I hope all five of our faithful readers out there have had a
wonderful Christmas season. We took quite a holiday hiatus in our house from
pretty much anything even resembling work, including blogging. Obviously there were a few things,
for the sake of hygiene that had to be maintained such as dishes and laundry.
But for the most part we have done very little in the way of big projects in
the last few weeks and MAN was it nice! My favorite part was Dusty took several
days off altogether from doing the winter farm work. I could tell JJ really
loved all the quality time with daddy! We have enjoyed our winter break (from
normal life, not school like in years past) by decorating for our house for Christmas,
seeing/ screaming at Santa, watching an infinite number of Christmas movies,
baking (and eating) yummy treats, taking JJ sledding (those pictures will be in another post) swimming at the YMCA, visiting with family/friends,
and of course opening lots of great gifts! We hope your holidays have also been
splendid. Now that we are finally finding our rhythm again, here are a few (wink, wink) pictures of all of our holiday fun :)

 |
| Stole a bell off the tree |
 |
| Tried to eat the bell |
 |
| Got mad that mom and dad won't let me stick the whole bell in my mouth |
 |
| New barricade to prevent bell stealing. Those front three big ones are just big heavy text books! |

| Excited to actually be able to touch the gifts without getting in trouble |
 |
| JJ loved ripping off the paper |
