A few January favorites

So, I'm back (for the two of you who have missed our posts)!

Just wanted to share a few of our highlights from January.

We broke the trip back to Texas into two days, stopping in Denton for the night. Here's the kids' reaction when we got out of the car and into the hotel.

Waking up the next morning...one of my favorite things when Gabrielle is sweet with her little brother. And this was most possibly Benjamin's messiest "morning hair" ever!

The Barbie house that we gave Gabrielle for Christmas. She's so excited, and so am I...mostly because it's something she can go play with by herself for a while...especially while I have stuff to do for/with Benjamin.

Benjamin interested in guitars...already!?!

Trying to figure out the glass side table in the livingroom.

Gabrielle and I on our "date" before watching "Tangled".

Nothing like a good-ole diaper box to keep the kids busy for a morning. Benjamin used it first, and then Gabrielle sat in it and "read" some books for a while.

A decent day for the kiddos to play outside together.

My boys reading their papers on the weekend.

Of course, I had to get some Bethany in there too!

Another day outside...on the swingset in the backyard this time.
