January Happenings!

Despite the title of this post, not a lot has actually been happening this month. We have had a pretty low key agenda, but we have still managed to stay busy. We have had a few play dates, done some shopping, gone to the Please Touch Museum, played at the park, jogged on the path, had a couple of date nights, and done some preschool and craft activities.

At the beginning of the month, we were supposed to have two holiday parties for Jon's work. One of the events was cancelled, so we kept the sitter and had a date night at Tequila's instead! It was so nice to spend some quality time alone with my hubby! Kylie is working her way through the alphabet in preschool. She seems to enjoy it, and we just finished letter N this week. Brooks is starting to become more independent and plays by himself for long stretches of time. His favorite toys are his Thomas trains!

I would describe the winter weather here as that of a typical Minnesota March or maybe even early April. The temperatures are consistently between 30-50 degrees, and we even had a few days last week in the 60's. It does get cold every now and then, but not Minnesota cold. I think the coldest day was a high temperature of 15 degrees. It's down right balmy to us native Minnesotans, hence our ability to play and run outside in the middle of January!!

Here are some January pictures...

Date night at Tequila's!
They even gave us a romantic candle! :)

 We all enjoy a good Modern Family re-run.
Even Brooks was in to it!

 Trying out some new, funky pig tails!
Along with small pony tail and big pony tail, it's become a staple in our hair style rotation.

 Playing chef with some play doh on that 15 degree day.

 Wearing the chef's hat yet again!

 Brooks' selfie!

 Proud of her smiley face!
This was one of the first she has drawn by herself.

 Playing at the Please Touch Museum.

 Please Touch Museum again.

 At the park on a warm-ish January day.

 Brooks got to play too!

 Working on the letter N for preschool.
N is for nuts! :)

 Watching the snow fall out the window.
She insisted on wearing Brooks' boots that are several sizes too small for her.

Trying to squeeze into the doll's stroller.

We hope your January is as fun and laid back as ours has been!
