Vacations Days Are Great!

Well, Dad and Nan just left this morning and it has been a very relaxing Christmas break for me. I took the week off of work and for several days I did nearly NOTHING! That ROCKS! I am using this weekend before going back to work to do some things I should have found time to do during the week (pay bills, balance checkbook, blog, organize, laundry, blah, blah...)

So While we had guests we ate lots of good food and sweets, and went to a couple of cool places. We first went to George Ranch Historical Park. It is like an indoor/outdoor museum with demonstrations of ranching, blacksmithing and the like. There were a co
uple of house tours of how the rich people in those days lived. Very interesting and I am grateful for indoor plumbing and central heat/air conditioning! There was a bench with a couple of cute statues ready for picture taking.



It looks like they joined a new family! Logan liked riding on the cart pulled by the tractor. He wasn't too keen on the house tours though.

We had a wonderful Christmas morning with lots of presents. Just outside the window Logan got to see another gift Santa left him.



Santa told us that he found it at a garage sale down the street for only $10 and spent a couple of nights up late painting it! Go Santa!


Logan had fun opening up lots of good stuff from Santa and Grandma and Grandpa.



The day after Christmas we did what half of all other Americans were doing, Shopping! We went to Ikea which is one of my all time favorite stores. If you dont have one in your area then I am really sorry. They have modern furnishings and housewares at really good prices. Several pieces of our furniture are from there and when we get to remodleing the Kitchen we will probably get the Ikea cabinets. They are a great deal and are really pretty. It's a humongous store and you could spend many hours in there (and we have!). They thought of everything. There is a cafeteria and a secured, kids only play area where you can leave the rugrats while you shop! Then we went to Fry's Electronics store and looked at all the great stuff that we may someday be able to buy (when we win the lottery).

Then I spent two days doing almost nothing. I did make a couple meals, emptied the dishwasher a few times and I might have done a load of laundry. I really enjoy my "time off!"

I hope everyone had a faboulus Christmas and we wish all a Wonderful New Year!
