Lazy Holidays

This Christmas break has been like no other that I've had for quite a long time.  We've had nowhere in particular to go or be, and therefore there's been all kinds of time to just relax, unwind, and rejuvenate. (Of course, Charles is busier than ever, so this isn't necessarily a break time for him.)

So I've been able to do a lot of reading, and it's been glorious.  Since I worked all summer, this time to relax has been especially sweet.

As you might imagine, the girls don't necessarily sit still for as long.  They've also done some reading but quite a bit of playing too.  The past two days the playing has been as a band called "The Girls."

They use their new Chromebook to play oldies and motown classics on Pandora while drumming along on their various percussion instruments.  Sophie's favorite is "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," while Hannah prefers "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."  Don't be jealous, but I received a free pass good for 20 performances.

I attended a concert at 1pm this afternoon, so this ticket now reads "19 concert pass."  The songs they're playing are classics of American rock'n'roll, and I love that they're learning to know and love them!

  

Hope you are finding some time to rest and relax in this holiday season also.
