We came home in early January from Pine Valley feeling a bit behind on life. The girls had missed their first few days back at school and the house was still full of Christmas. In between the catch-up we still managed a few fun activities.. Chris and I scored some of his work tickets to the Seahawks playoff game. It was freeeeeezing.
