Monday: We headed over to Mega Play, the giant indoor play area that is usually a mad house. We got there at 11:30 and left at 12:30 and we never saw ANY other kids the whole time. We had the entire play area to ourselves for an hour, it was awesome!

Wednesday: Hyrum was at work so the boys and I went to Burger King for breakfast. The boys were so excited to get the french toast sticks!
Thursday: We went to Weiden in the morning and Hyrum switched out a sweater I bought him for Christmas for a larger size. We walked around briefly in Weiden but it was super chilly so we didn't stay out long. Thursday evening we went to our friends, the Platt's, for some yummy pizza and popcorn as well as some fun games. The boys LOVED running around their house with their 6 year old son Cael. They especially liked that Cael had a slide to get off his bed!
Friday: We did a bit of grocery shopping and got the boys hair cut. That evening the Platt's came to our house for movies (the kids watched Scooby Doo) and for games (we played Ticket To Ride and Quibbler...lots of fun!) At around 10:30 PM we decided it was late enough for the kids to be up and we decided to torch our Christmas tree to bring in the New Year...see video clip at the end of this post. I really like how you can see the sparks going up into the air as the snow is coming down.
Saturday: We headed to Nuremberg to visit the German History museum. There is A LOT to see in this museum and our boys get tired after about an hour in a museum so we had to be pretty picky as to what we saw. We saw the worlds oldest globe, so old that America was not on it yet! We saw some paintings by Albrecht Durer as well as Rembrandt. The museum itself is housed in a pretty cool building so it was just fun walking around. After the museum we grabbed some lunch and headed over to the Roxy theater, one of the few theaters near us that plays English language movies. The boys and I watched Tangled while Daddy took Julian for a walk. We tried to sit in the theater with Julian but he is just too young and wiggly at this age to sit for long.

We survived another week with no school but I have to admit I am really happy school starts again tomorrow:)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Bruce is so jealous. He really wanted to torch our Christmas tree, but I wouldn't let him!
