We welcomed in the New Year at home, just the four of us. We grilled a yummy dinner of steaks, cheese potatoes & garlic bread. After dinner, we went our separate ways in the house. The boys went to the basement to play video games & watch football. Allie watched some TV & I read a book. Shortly before midnight, I went to gather the family for a quick Happy New Year before finally going to bed. I went to the basement first & the boys were both asleep with the TV blaring and Allie was cashed out in her room. So, I struggled to stay awake for no reason!
We had a low key New Year's Day. It was freezing outside so we started a big pot of chili & hung out around the house. That evening, we decided to go to the UNI basketball game. We had court side seats & enjoyed the front row view. Allie loved having TC, the UNI mascot, mess with her during the game. He even stole Jake's seat when he ran to the bathroom. A fun night.
Jake had a basketball tournament all day on Sunday. His team took 1st place & Jake had some good games. He looked great in the 2nd game, scoring several points & playing great defense. We were beat when we finally arrived home Sunday night after being gone for about 10 hours.
Winter break is officially over. We went back to school today. I think we were all ready to get back into our routine.
