Christmas Break Update

We had a great holiday at the Hohensee house. We ran too much, ate too much and spent too much. But isn't that what the holidays are all about.

On December 24th, we went to Newell to Josh's Grandpa's house. We had lunch over there and spent the afternoon with family.

We always do Christmas morning at our house. It's the only tradition we really stick by. We actually had to wake Paige up at 8:15 or so. Opening the presents always seems to go by too quickly. But that was ok this year, we went to Ayrshire to the Hohensee Family Christmas. We had dinner, played Bingo and visited with everyone. We always have so much fun up there. After Ayrshire, we went to Josh's mom and dad's to celebrate Christmas over there. That sounds like a full day, but being the troopers we are, we took Paige and the boys to the movie to see Chicken Little. Paige enjoyed it a little more than the boys, but we rarely get a chance to go to a movie as a family. Since the movie theater here only has one screen, sometimes it takes awhile for a family friendly movie to come to town. We all slept well Christmas Night!!

We accomplished a few projects over the break.

Kyle got his driver's license and his first car last week. He's very excited about having a car, but now he'll get to learn all about car payments, insurance payments, gas money and maintenance. We'll see how long he stays excited about his car.

Paige has tonsillitis. She went to the doctor for antibiotics last Friday. They are not working so now she needs to see the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist on Thursday. I really hope she doesn't need to get her tonsils out. But if it's for the best, we'll deal with it then.

I am ready to get back to school and get back into a routine. The boys say they are not ready to go back, but I'm sure they are too. Paige is definitely ready to go back to daycare. She misses all her "best friends".

I think that's about it for our holiday update.

Have a great 2006!!!!
