Merry Christmas, Happy New Years!

Geez, I'm a slacker...

We had a great Christmas! Treyson was SO excited about Santa!! And boy, Santa was sure good to him (and Makaylah too). Treyson and Mommy made cookies a few days before Santa came and on xmas eve night, we set out two cookies, a glass of milk and some carrots (for rudolph). He was excited to see all the presents under the tree and noticed that "santa was sure messy with his treats." After unwrapping presents, we headed to Grandma and Papa Leen's house for Christmas. Treyson and his cousin Kylie had a great time playing with their new kitchen sets and shopping carts. The kids loaded up on gifts there. We stayed the night and the entire next day. Friday night we headed over to Jeffers to start the Sevcik family Christmas. Again, the kids loaded up on lots of new toys, clothes and books! Treyson and his cousin Noah had a blast playing together.

After getting home on Sunday, we decided Treyson has so many new toys we had to create a toy room space somewhere in our house. This week my project was our basement. We have a full basement and were using a portion of good space as storage. I just felt unorganized! So we moved all the storage to the laundry room and created an office/workout space which can be blocked off from the kids (major plus). I then painted the previous office space and created a toyroom area for all the toys. It turned out great!!

I've been off of work for the past three weeks from MSU. A well deserved break!! I also took a mental break from my thesis.. it was great not having to think about it for a few weeks.. but now its back to the old grind of school and work!

Oh yeah, and I totally procrastinated on order and sending christmas cards this year. Maybe we will be untraditional and send some Valentine Cards or something :-)

Anywho, hope your holidays were great and filled with good food, good people and lots of presents!
