It's Ludachristmas!

We got to spend a good solid week with out families at Christmas. Memorable moments include playing Scene It?

Something thick and cushioned would have been preferable). My feet thawed quickly over soup and breadsticks at the Olive Garden.

My SIL suggested we do this little craft:

These Kindles are amazing. Did you know you can check out eBooks from the library and download them without even going to the library?? How have I gone this long without one? Not to mention I can merely tap a word and a dictionary definition pops up. 

Sadly, that morning was the only time I got to spend with the Mister as Terrible Tuesdays are the busiest for both of us. But maybe playing with my new toy and scouring Etsy for the most adorable Kindle cover ever made it a little less painful.
