One Last Hurrah

Today was the last day of Christmas Holiday.  

Our last day of sleeping in and wide open days.

So sad.

I figured we'd make the most of things, but we got a jump start on our regular routine and went to 7:30 Mass and then promptly came home and took naps and vegged out in front of the TV for the morning.

It was painfully clear that tomorrow is going to be a rough day for all of us night owls!

Catching up on some sleep before hitting the sledding hill
By afternoon, however, the fresh snow started calling our names!

Ben and I wimped out and only made a couple of trips down the hill each--it was super cold, plus I'm apparently still terrified of the dip in the hill after last years fiasco!--but the boys tore it up for about an hour.

After that it was back home for more lounging around.  I hoped to get a couple chapters in our book read, but nope.  I just couldn't find the energy.  Instead we watched Malcolm in the Middle--the boys favorite newly discovered show! 

It wasn't quite the day that I had planned, but, really, it was just what we needed.

Back to our routine in the morning...
