Enjoying the Winter break.....

The Winter break has been great-lots of sleeping, lots of relaxing and spending time with friends.  We met friends at the Science Center last week.  We don't go there very often, the kids rarely want to go there, but every now and then, they enjoy it.  Our friends had a membership, so we met them there (actually, didn't even end up using any of the membership benefits!!)

Maggie found this astronaut helmet in the gift shop, it was hilarious!!!!

Greta and I went to Gintare's 16th birthday party in Troy, Illinois.  Gintare is another Lithuanian exchange student.  Greta was the only other exchange student at her party, so I am really glad that we went there.

When we came out from the party, it had snowed, the trees were beautiful.....

We had quite a bit of snow at home too, Maggie was very excited by it and she's been outside eating it ever since!!!!!

Yesterday, we met Megan and Anne at the City Museum.  Ben and Maggie had a great time with them, they had someone else to run around with them.  Boring old mum just sits and reads a book!!!!
