After Christmas, Kenny took the week off through the new year.  We had a week of slow days together and it was so wonderful.  We all needed a break after the busyness of Christmas.  We slept in, played games, drank hot chocolate, watched movies, took naps, read…and then did it all over again.  The days were restful and just what our family needed.  

We took one day to take down our Christmas decorations and put it all away, and did have some other fun too.  We saw Kenny’s cousin, Abbey, and her family one day for lunch. 

We visited our train buddies, the Layhers, one afternoon and so enjoyed their company.

And Kenny took Anna ice skating one afternoon.  

We’re so thankful for this time to slow.  We highly recommend it!
