"Insta"-replay #104, new year, new schedule

The first month of the year flew by!  I can't believe how quickly it was over.  

We started the year with a dolly New Years party.  We made game boards for the dolls and stayed up late.  Like 10 o'clock late not midnight late.

We had fun at the library, even Jon came to watch puppets.

After the show the girls were able to meet the puppeteers and get a closer look at the different types of puppets they used.

We had some surprise snow! And I found out my tween is fabulous at taking selfies, I think it's because she's a lefty.

Then it was back to school and the humdrum of life.

We are making an effort to keep our schedule free for family time, it is so easy to over book.

Looking back at the month I must say how nice it is to be close to family, not just physically close (although sometimes I wish all my family was closer) but relationship close.  I'm glad my daughters are growing up with positive role models all around them!

The girls look forward to when the boys have a day off school so they can play.  I was feeling under the weather and may have forgotten they were coming but it was a pleasant surprise.

It was such a fun, busy month, and I'm looking forward to this next one too!
