January

January is usually a sad let down after December but this year we had Disneyland to look forward to.  We also had some fun before we left.  

Alex and I played in the snow one day while Mia napped.  He wanted me to make a wizard snowman so this was my best attempt.

Unfortunately both Mia and Alex got a stomach bug this month.  Alex even got sick at school.  Mia spent an entire night on the couch throwing up every fifteen minutes.  She refused to throw up into a bucket or a towel and usually flung around while she got sick.  It was pretty awful.  If she tried to lay down she got sick so she finally fell asleep at about five in the morning sitting up against a pillow.  Luckily it didn't last long and it was all out of their system before we left on our trip.

We also got to celebrate Jaryn's birthday this month.  Nikole made an awesome Paw Patrol Cake that Mia could not wait to eat.

This month Alex finally lost his first tooth.  He would not let Brandon or me touch it but finally pulled it out himself while he was at school.

He got to put it in a little treasure box at school which he thought was very cool so a few weeks later when he lost his next tooth he made sure to wait until he was at school again to pull it out.  

Brandon had to borrow Alex's goggles to cut up some onions.  He didn't appreciate me taking a picture.
