January--fun or no fun?

January is a very different month for me. There are times when I really like it, and times when I do not.  Some years it is very cold, the kids go crazy, and it's boring and long with no holidays or breaks to look forward to.  However, this January has been a really good one. It has been slower but I've really enjoyed that. December was so busy that I'm really enjoying the slower pace.  We have, however, still been having a lot of fun.  So here are some pictures of what we've been up to this month:

Most of our fun has been indoors after school or on the weekends. However, James and I have managed to sneak away on dates or take the girls out for some fun.  It's been a good month and there's lots more fun up-ahead so stay tuned.
