First week of January 2017

Happy New Year!  We enjoyed the little bit of time we still had with Kimberly and her kids.

Uno!

Making slime


Playing with bubbles outside

Hanging out at the park - getting more time outside (You've got to get out after being cooped up playing with all that Christmas stuff!)


Kids are enjoying this marble run toy they got

Fun with slime - Kaitlyn

Fun with slime - Tyler

Late night games together

Maxwell has been sleeping on some blankets in our room while Kimberly was here.  He has loved it.


She loves looking at our Christmas cards

Saying goodbye :(


Maxwell asks to do more science experiments everyday.  I love that he's into it.

We started up swim lessons (sort of).  The kids have a bunch of make up lessons so we are using those up and then we will sign up again at least for Emmalyn.  We will see how it goes for Maxwell.  Since his favorite teachers aren't here any more I'm not sure how into it he will be.  It was fun because they were swimming right next to each other.

Emmalyn moved up to the next level!  I no longer have to get in the pool with her.  She's now a level 3.


Katherine and I are still getting out and walking multiple times a week.  We just have to really bundle up right now.  This time it was 26 degrees ("feels like 14") and we still did it!  Committed to keeping up the exercise and weight loss in the new year!


We got a tiny bit of snow.   The kids were so excited.



Trying to get enough snow together to make a snow ball but it just wasn't the right type of snow.


We took the kids to another movie (again, have no idea what we saw).




Emmalyn is so loving.

After the movie we went out to dinner.  Was a fun evening together!

Nana and Grandpa come to visit - December 2017

We were all excited to have Nana and Grandpa come visit for a few days.  We always wish they would stay longer and really enjoy their visits.

Giving Nana a massage

We have been to the Dallas Arboretum with Nana before but have never taken Grandpa.  I knew it would be a place he would like.  It's clearly not as beautiful in the winter but it's still great and they have their 12 Days of Christmas Displays up.  It was COLD we were all bundled up as well as we could be considering we aren't super equipped to be outside in cold weather since we only have a few days of it all year. (My poor dad who only wears shorts...I tried to get him to put on pants but he wouldn't budge.)

Emmalyn couldn't get enough of her grandparents.  She was so focused on them.




Trying to get a cute picture of the two of them...

...still trying

10 shots later, this was the best I got.  Ugh

Maxwell enjoyed finding each of the signs for the 12 Days and listening to the song.








I was amazed there were still roses in the rose garden.   They must have to cover so many plants at night!




Afterward, we went to Torchy's Tacos for some yummy food and to try and warm up.  

Pajama time with the hats Nana brought them.

We got Dad and Marriann to play some card games with us and loosen up a little

Loose tooth alert!!!

All snuggled together on the couch
