Sleepover

We did our New Year's Eve festivities a day early this year. Sye and Jake came to sleep over. We played games and had a good time. I am not very patient with games that take as long as Monopoly or Risk and I gave prior warning. Instead, I created my mission to take over where I would want to live which lead me on the adventure of taking over the northern portion of Middle Earth. Once statisfied that the Shire was fully secured from bothersome trolls and orcs, I was done.

Legos

My sisters and I watch two shows over the Christmas break every year: Little Women and Anne of Green Gables. These aren't exactly Christmas shows but for some reason we have always watched them this time of year. JD isn't exactly in love with Little Women night so a new tradition was started: while I am with the girls, JD goes over to his house to build Lego structures with his brothers. I may not get Legos and he may not get Little Women, but it makes for a fun night with our siblings for each of us.
