We have been a busy little family so far this year.

We got to spend a little bit of time over Christmas break with Mike's brother, Brendan and his family. My kids were so excited to spend some time with more cousins!

We have also kicked the year off right by already having 3 snow days in less than a week and a half. One of those days was a snow day due to cold temps - so similar to last year. We just need a routine!

I caught this picture of Katy, Sydney and Jared longing to go outside. 

 Once it warmed up above 0 I let the kids (and the dogs) play outside. They have a blast. Katy loves playing in the snow so much she just jumps the whole time. I sit there and laugh. It's so very entertaining - especially now that the kids can get themselves all dressed for the weather!
