January 2014

Nothing like waiting till the last day of the month to post my blog!!! I can not believe January is already over! Well happy belated new year!!!

So the kids and I had a great Christmas vacation! None of us wanted to go back to work/school! It was so nice being off 2+ weeks!!! 

The kids (and Mike) love being outside in the snow! It has been great with all the snow we have been getting! The only reason they come inside is because they are freezing!!! 



We also have been baking- ALOT!!! Not much to do when it's so cold outside!!

Ellie loves getting her nails done!!- thanks to Aunt Sally for the Christmas present!! She is always asking me to paint her nails.
I am so bad at painting nails, and 3 year olds don't understand the concept of "wet" nails!! So it is a trying process!! 

The kids are really starting to play well together! Don't get me wrong we have fighting too, but we also have some great moments of playing together!!

Cold days also call for fun bubble baths!!!! 

We had a birthday party this month for a friend at "my little adventures."  The kids had a great time!!


We love having play dates with our neighbors!! Even though the kids are a little older they play really well together!!


We have probably colored more this month than any month prior!!! 

Ellie started dance class this month. She loves it!! She twirls and spins all around! They even have a recital in May- I am really interested to see how that goes. She is in a class of 3 year olds. . So really not sure how they will have any kind "dance."

Both kids are doing swimming again this session. They love being in the water!! It is so cute to watch!

We ended the month with a fabulous brunch! Lots of tasty foods!! 




Hopefully next month I don't wait till the end!!! We have a lots of things coming up too.
