What a beautiful Sunday!!  Great church service, followed by the kiddos playing outside all afternoon with their cousins.  We ended our day watching Macenzie play a great game of basketball.

DATE NIGHT!!  For Christmas, I gave Jonathan the 12 Daytz of Christmas.  One date each month, prepaid, for us to have some time together.  Tonight was our first date.  After I dropped Drew off at Chap's for a sleepover, Joshua and Luke off at Grammie's for a sleepover, and Anna Caitlin off at CK for a loCKin, we were ready for our date (three hours later).  This month was our favorite takeout (Outback appetizers), a movie (The Vow), and wine in front of the fire.  It was a GREAT way to spend the evening!!

First day back at school after Christmas break :(  Rough morning getting everyone out of bed and out the door; car line was 25 minutes long because of the 12 degree weather.  BUT, we ended the night with a dance party and giggles, which makes for a perfect evening!!

EIGHT DEGREES!!  That was the temperature on my car as I drove into work this morning.  Lucky kiddos did not have to go to school because of the freezing temps...the high today was 25.  They got to spend the day  home with their daddy.  Best part of their day...the DirecTV guy came and installed boxes in their rooms.  I am guessing we will see a lot less of them over the next few days...

Well, no snow for us today :(  But because of black ice, the teacher workday was postponed until 10:00, so at least we got to sleep in a little bit later!!  We tried an experiment that you don't get to do in Georgia very often.  We froze these awesome marbles in balloons, since it was going down to five degrees.  The results were very cool!



We finished off our cold night with a fire in the fireplace and making smores.  Although we had to used saltine crackers because we were out of graham crackers ;)
