January Fun

January feels like it has been the calm after the storm. The weeks leading up to Christmas were busy, busy, busy with shopping or wrapping or decorating or fun activities with the girls. Then, we traveled, it was New Year, and time to get in gear for a birthday party. Since Janie's birthday party is behind us, I think as a family we have enjoyed a little down time.

We have, however, gotten out a little bit and enjoyed the company of our own family & friends! A few favorite moments from January to share...

I gave Justin tickets to a Dallas Stars hockey game for Christmas, so we got to go out to dinner & the game together for a little date night. It was fun! It went into double over time and a shoot out, but the Stars ended up winning.

Angry because it was past our bedtime!!!

Besides Janie's birthday, a close friend of the girls turned one this January, too! We had celebrating Charlie's first birthday!

The weather has been very warm this winter, for the most part. We took advantage one Friday afternoon and played at the Central Market park and ate dinner. The next day it was freezing outside, so we were glad we got out while we could.

The girls loved having a play date with their friend Harper!

Playing the piano together. So cute!

Nora continues to do the silliest things. Having a toddler can really make you laugh sometimes!! I'm never certain what I will find with her when I go to wake her up in the mornings. She has different blankets, dolls, books, toys... Once she had the book "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" with her. Often times, she has shoes. She's silly. I just never know what she's thinking in there!

Some rare mommy and Nora time including hot cocoa and making wishes in fountains:

We rounded out the month by attending the opening of the new Altitude Trampoline Park by us! The girls had fun jumping with Elsa and other princesses. Janie was very partial to Elsa though, walking around calling her name and saying "I only love Elsa."

Nora chose to wear this big ol' tutu and I have to 

say, it was pretty cute while she jumped!

Looking forward to February!
