January

January felt like a busy month but I'm not sure what we did because we didn't take very many pictures.  

Brandon made fun of the days when our kids would find something exciting about their food and make us take a picture of them.  

Alex returned home from Las Vegas on the first of the month and Ripley was very excited to see him.  She had become very attached to him during Christmas break. 

Mia had some fun this month. She and I went to a party for her dance company one afternoon.  It was pretty cute! 

Ripley is very sweet.  Not only does she like to cuddle but she likes to be on top of us most of the time.  

She also got a haircut this month.  They had to go a little shorter than we were expecting because of some matting.  Hopefully it grows back quickly! 

Mia also got to attend Middle School orientation. I can't believe she will be in middle school soon! She is very excited and ready to be done with elementary school. 

Finally, Mia and some friends went skiing one Saturday during the month.  They skied all day and late into the evening.  Mia had so much fun but was very tired by the end!
