Christmas break

This week I have been trying to think of things to do to keep us busy. I really wanted to go to Idaho Falls and hang out with my family for the week the girls were out of school, but there was always something keeping us from going. Family party's, bad weather, sick kids.... so we ended up staying home. Ryan took Alexis snowboarding Tuesday and she loved it. They were gone all day, and the other girls were feeling bad that they didn't get to go so I wanted to make sure that we did something fun also. I ended up taking them to the Theater to watch Megamind, and we all loved it. There was a part with some music that Brytlee stood up and started dancing to and it was so cute! After the movie I took the girls to the new Chick-fil-A to try it out. I had never been and it has a cute little play area for the kids to play. I didn't think the food was that good, and the area's were very small... (but the girls still had fun going up and down the slide)
We have had a lot of fun going to family party's this week also, and eating so much yummy food. It is always fun to see friends and family that you don't see very often.
Thursday we took the girls to go and see Tangled with all the grand kids on the Harris side, and Alexis had a friend come along also. We all loved the movie, and I can't wait to watch it again.
At the movie I bought a large combo, and we shared it with all the kids. (I think I refilled our popcorn three or four times).... So after the movie Alexis was not feeling well, and kept saying the popcorn smell was making her feel sick and she felt like she was going to throw-up. I said, "you didn't really eat that much did you"? And Alexis said, "Yea, I totally ate a TON".
We had to run into Walmart to take back one of Christmas presents for the Wii that didn't work, as we are walking around, Alexis is holding a plastic bag and she starts throwing up bright yellow popcorn barf in the bag. It was so gross, and her friend was plugging her ears, and trying to stay as far away from her as she could. People were walking past us looking at me like I was so disgusting, But I was just glad none of it got on the floor, and very impressed that she could walk and throw up at the same time. And then after she was done she acted like nothing happened....
After we got home she was feeling much better and even wanted to eat a little more popcorn that we had taken home... (I said no to that).
Ryan has been working hard every day trying to get Mike and Haley's house done so he has been gone a lot more than I had hoped, but when he is home, he has been good to take the girls out on the four wheeler and pull them behind on the sled. They love going outside, and Brytlee really loves riding on the wheeler when dad is pushing snow around.
I am so sad that the break is going so fast, and I have really enjoyed the girls not having school. It will be sad when they are gone next week, and I don't think Brytlee will know what to do with herself.
