Monday evening&#8230;

Yes, we&#8217;re a family that doesn&#8217;t mess around when it comes to enjoying our holiday treats &#8230; even if they&#8217;re meant to be decorations!  
Thank goodness for pre-baked gingerbread house kits that let us focus on the building, decorating, and eating instead of the baking! Costco has the best kit we&#8217;ve seen [...]]]></description>

But we did get one short window where the clouds parted and our cabin fever forced us out of the house. Rebecca had wanted to get her Mom [...]]]></description>

Oh, then let me give all of you new and soon-to-be parents a tip: don&#8217;t, under any circumstances, ever take a baby to a ballgame (especially if it means missing their nap). Yikes.

		<description><![CDATA[ YES, Christmas is exciting again!  

I realize this post is being written waaaay after the fact (I&#8217;ve been a bad blogger this year!), the Roades family had a wonderful Christmas. We stayed home this year, opened presents from under the tree, and just enjoyed a peaceful celebration of Jesus&#8217; birth.
Of course, this included [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There seem to be a glut of new shows on this Fall. Several of these caught my eye as promising. Let me start by saying that I appreciated the &#8220;limited interruptions&#8221; for several of the pilots. Unfortunately, this seemed to be offset by unusually frequent and long commercial breaks for all of the other pilots. [...]]]></description>

A coworker of mine returned from a vacation in Orlando and told me about this indoor skydiving place that she and her family went to. That&#8217;s right &#8211; indoor freefall. It&#8217;s basically like skydiving without the &#8220;death&#8221; factor. Giant turbines push air through this vertical [...]]]></description>
