Christmas Vacation

We stayed in town for the Christmas Holiday.  Santa was good to the kids.  Lots and Lots of presents....the highlights included a Wii, a Rip Stick, a Big Wheel and lots of Legos.  All in all, everyone was happy, even the adults. 

My parents and sister came over for dinner and we had a low key afternoon visiting.  

For the break, we kept busy.  On the agenda was:

• The Center for the Puppetry Arts  http://www.puppet.org/
• A trip to the Movies
• Shopping and Hanging out with friends
• The First Emperor exhibit at the High Museum of Art  https://www.high.org/

Both me and the Hubby wanted to see the Chinese Terracotta Warriors at the High.  We took the kids not knowing how long they could "hang".  We were shocked to spend several hours browsing the museum.  The exhibit was fascinating!  The terracotta warriors were over six feet tall and every one was different!  Both the kids listened to the audio tour in it's entirety and want to go back again.  It was the first time, in a long time, I felt like we may be moving past the "baby" stage with the kids.
