A Week Off

The week between Christmas and New Year's was thankfully spent relaxing at home with the boys and my parents. My parents arrived on Sunday, December 28th, and left on January 2nd. We enjoyed happy hour at the local seafood place, happy hour downtown with a view of downtown and the mountains, shopping with my mom, watching football (including Nebraska's win over Clemson), and quality time with the boys. Drake had a bit of cabin fever during the week, but really enjoyed having "Nana and Pop" here to entertain and keep busy.



We enjoyed a couple days of very nice weather. It allowed us to get the ice off the back patio and also trim back the perennials in the front yard. We even enjoyed our lunch on the front porch one day. New Year's eve was pretty low key - we enjoyed a seafood dinner - lobster tails, crab legs, and shrimp. Marshall, the boys, and I headed over to friends for a couple hours, and I came back with Tanner to celebrate New Year's with my parents. We finished a puzzle and some of us even made it to midnight ;)

It was so nice to have them here more than a couple days. And of course, the time always goes too quickly.
