January Joys

After all the Holiday madness, we made it back home to Logan with a few days to decompress before it was back to school and work and the normal every day grind.  We all enjoyed the little bit of down time!  The kids hadn't even seen half of their presents since they opened them since we didn't want to loose all the pieces or have them broken before we got home.  So it was like second Christmas!  It was great!  They had so much fun playing with all their new things!  Will got this gigantic cardboard train to color and put together.  All the kids had fun with this gift!

 How cute is this kid??

 Once it was all together, the kids had so much fun playing in it all together!  It was such a hit!  It was a really great gift for all.  They played with it for weeks and then when it finally all fell apart we just put it in the recycling bin!  Perfect!  :)

 Lily and Ava wasted no time enjoying their new dress up wardrobe from Grandma and Grandpa Rowe.

 I was so excited that it finally looked like winter around here.  It was breathtaking!

 Sofie has a lot of new teeth.  I loved the way her teeth are coming in.  I think her little snaggle tooth is so cute!!!

 It warmed up quite a bit and the kids were so excited to use their new bikes!!  Yahoo!

 Since it was so warm, we decided to walk to school pick up, but I forgot that melting snow makes mud!

 Will quite literally got stuck in the mud!

 Will loves to take photos.  Here's a great one of Cory.  The girls one day started singing to him, Dad and his phone sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!  It was so hilarious!  I love when kids call us out and put us in our place.  I try to remember that and put my phone away!!

 Smile!  Will always says when he's going to take my picture.

 I think this was some sort of detective club.

 I took this picture because I was so excited about frosted window panes!  Doesn't that look so charming?

 Here is a Will flower!  This is Sofie's flower towel from Grandma Rowe.  Will likes to use it sometimes.  :)

Here's Sofie in the cute little thing! 

 Sadly, almost all my kids got pink eye.  So we had to ditch school for a few days.  Here are the kids in the rocket they made out of boxes.  They all had so much fun together!

 One night, Will and Ava were running around like this.  It was their pirate clothes, not sure how.  But they were playing so cute together!  Here they are saying, ARRRR!

 Will came upstairs one morning like this.

 It reminded me of his Uncle Devin, who many years before got a crayon stuck up in his nose!  Luckily, nothing got lodged up there, but it did make me wonder what goes on in the strange workings of a little boys mind!

 We had Martin Luther King Jr day off, and we did a craft and Lily was in heaven.  Isn't she adorable?  I love this little lady! Lily already blogged all about our candle jars on her blog, Crafternoons with Lily.

Those are just a few of our joys in January!
