Some days of nothing

After Christmas, we had a few days where we had to be nowhere and do nothing. We couldn't remember the last time that happened! But of course, we filled those days with things.

Thursday the 26th we took some of my Christmas/birthday money gifts and went to the Katy Mills Mall, where I found 3 pairs of shoes and a pair of jeans. Much needed. We also each took a nap, which is definitely record-worthy.

She asked me to take her picture and gave me this face

Gratitude. Every place should have these spots

Friday the 27th we went to Denny's for breakfast in memory of our first Christmas when we ate there on Christmas day. I think it will be a tradition now, we had lots of fun reminiscing. I also couldn't help but think about how our family's table at Denny's will change over the years. Pretty fun stuff. After breakfast Charlee and Delilah came over to play, then my parents and Sarah arrived. Sarah and I watched Christmas movies all afternoon before Mom and Dad came back and they all left.

Kids menus aren't just for kids, ya know

Saturday the 28th was a weird day... our power kept going out! We were trying to be productive and work on our 72-hr kits, among other things. We kept hearing a big boom outside and then the lights would go off, along with 60-ish of our neighbors. It would be off for up to a few hours, then come back on for a little bit, then go off. It was pretty frustrating, but also kinda fun to light candles and be unplugged.

Also instragrammed this- she waited for me to put her to bed so sweetly

Procrastination. I hate ironing.

Fun in the dark

Saturday the 29th (after Church of course) we spent the afternoon with family. Garrett and Mitchell are finally home for their break (after being in Cali for the BYU bowl game) and we are so glad! Millie loved showing off for her uncles. We went to the park with Nathan, Charlee, and Delilah and played at home.

The way to her heart is fruit snacks

The other way to her heart is Disney movies- thanks Mitchell!

Monday the 30th Millie and I took a little drive to pay our HOA dues in office. Doesn't sound super-exciting, but on the way home we got stuck behind an accident and were on the road for a long time. Millie helped me clean out the car and I started a book, so I guess all was not lost. We had a fun afternoon/evening with the Juergens crew-- games, the movie Frozen (adorable!), Texas Roadhouse, and more games.

Can we go home yet??

Qwirkle!

Millie loves Uncle "Dodo"

It's just really nice to have nothing sometimes.
