Man, it feels like I have been gone a very long time. I've been busy and the bloggy part of my brain has been blank. However, I'm hoping this will make up for some of that. Here's what I've been up to.... 
Our Christmas was wonderful! The kids had such a great time and behaved so well at our Christmas eve service. It was awesome watching a few hundred people light their candles while singing an a capella version of Silent Night. I want to do it again! The rest of our Christmas was spent as a family until that evening. We went over to Aaron's parents house for family time with aunts, uncles and cousins. Such a good time was had by all.
Four of the best things that could have ever happened to me.
The nearly finish playset
And Evan has been keeping me very busy. We now have to keep the bathroom door closed because this is where I find him if he's aloud access..
Getting ready for Christmas Around the World!

Aaron was off from the 24th thru jan. 3rd. We got tons accomplished during this time. A few finished items from our to-do list...he fixed the light in our shower, I resealed the tile in the kids bath, we fixed a loose tile in the kitchen and re-grouted, he finally placed the thresh hold between the kitchen and the den AND he and my dad built the kids a playset! That last one is huge. I have been waiting a long time wondering if it was ever going to get done. My dad came over around 10 a.m. and was gone by 4:30. And all that was left was the railing. I am so excited to have a decent piece of play equipment in our back yard. This also means we broke down the old nasty metal swing set that was doing nothing but taking up space.
In the beginning....
Giving Grandpa a hand.
TEAMWORK!!
Trying out the new swings. They passed =)

I started a part-time job this week. Crazy, right? Well, I'll be working at the weekday preschool at our church so Katie and Evan will be right there with me. I replaced the assistant in Katie's class. I was subbing quite a bit last semester so I figured this wouldn't be much different. Except I'll be in the same class all the time. So Tuesday's and Thursday's I'll be a working mom. Totally not doing this for financial reason's and I'm not completely sure I'll continue doing this in the fall. We'll see how things are looking in May =) I am so excited to be involved with the other teachers though. Such a great group of women!
I'm going back to the gym in full force. I've been every day this week and even went twice today. I'm on a mission and I will succeed!

So there you have it. That's what I've been up to. How did you spend Christmas?
