Hang in there!

Just a few more days and we'll be out of school for 17 whole days! Absolutely cannot wait to spend time with my 2 favorite boys, and see our families! We will head down to Denver Friday night, fly to St Louis Saturday morning, spend time in Teutopolis for a few days and fly back to CO on Thursday, the 22nd. We're going to spend Christmas here, and start some traditions with Cayle. We'll leave again on the 28th to visit Ronnie and Michelle and kids, and also meet up with Mom, Dad, Patrick, and Reo. It will be a fantastic break!

A few pics from this past weekend:

Cayle showing me exactly where he threw the yogurt on the wall...

Cayle "painting" ornaments (very little paint actually made it's way on to the ornaments...)

Nick had his basketball end-of-the-season party on Monday, so the season is now officially over. His kids won the league championship, which was pretty exciting. Nick has done lots of laundry so far this week, and we're working on lots of little things to get ready for the big trip: clean the car out, leave few leftovers in the fridge, wrap gifts, clean the house, etc. Tomorrow night is packing night, and we'll get it all ready to load in the car Friday morning.

Tonight we celebrated Nick's birthday (a few days early) with some friends at Bonfire Brewing. We had Costco pizza and a pineapple cake I made, and the boys played some Foosball and shuffleboard. Happy almost-thirty-first birthday to my handsome husband :)
