Christmas Break 2010

Christmas break is in full swing, which in the McClelland household means a lot of laziness, a lot of disorganization, a lot of playing, new toys, and alot of fun.  Quinn has assembled all of his new Lego sets, and Scott and I were very happy that he was able to do most of it all by himself this year.  It is pretty impressive.  The girls have played with their dolls, and their Zhu Zhu pets and all the other fun stuff they were blessed with this year.  The packaging for such things are unbelievable, I think there should be a college degree for how to successfully and quickly open all such packages. 

Today the kids and I ventured out to go ice skating with Quinn's Cub Scout pack.  It was free, so we thought why not... They have much improved from last year, and it was hilarious to watch their different techniques for keeping their balance and getting forward motion on the ice.  Quinn's approach... run as fast as you can with the skates on your feet, and then stop by falling.  Avery was a little more cautious, staying on her feet, but moving slowly and with care.  Kaleigh was a little of both, and had the lowest center of gravity of all of them, sticking her bum out as far as she could, then flapping her arms around to try and get herself moving.  It was really fun to watch (and take pictures and video of)

Tomorrow is the last day of the year, hard to believe! Hope all of you enjoy your New Year!!
