Our fish turned 2 on Christmas Day! When we got him, he had fin rot, so we didn't think he would live long. He has never been very healthy and lively, but he has hung on much longer than we expected! He spends most of his days sleeping at the bottom of his bowl.

The kids went outside first thing this morning to try out their new sleds. There was fresh snow to slide on since it snowed yesterday. Eleanor opted to stay inside to try out her Easy-Bake oven.





I didn't get a photo of the pink frosting Eleanor made. She was quite impressed that the frosting powder and water mixed together made real frosting! :-)

Zoe opened her Mouse Trap game while Eleanor was baking.


Later on, the boys had some bonding time with Daddy as they played with Zach's new toy from Grandpa. :-)


Emily & Zoe had back to back basketball practices today. I'm glad Matt was home to do most of the transporting. :-) Zoe has a Round Robin in Dexter tomorrow and Emily's team has a game tomorrow and then they are off for the rest of the week. Yay!

Eleanor received the movie, Rio for Christmas. so we watched it tonight for FHE. It was a fun family night!

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm so happy to hear it was the best Christmas ever! I am also jealous of your snow. I don't miss shoveling and scraping, driving in it etc... but it would be fun to have some to play and sled in/on.

It looks like everyone is enjoying a fun vacation and lots of fun things to do!

I love it when we just get to hang out together at home as a family. Looks like fun!
