January Joys :)

A little recap of the joy we found in January....

Maryn and Cormac reading books together...so sweet
More snow!
It's time to sled!
Daddy has a pretty heavy load!
Theo loved playing in the snow.  I think it may have been only his second time.
Stomp, stomp, stomp
Maryn pulling Cormac...the light load!
Even Rody came out to play :)
Cormac's first time in the snow!
He didn't have any boots so I put him in a pair of Theo's ...they served their purpose :)
Are you going to help me up or what??
Daddy's snow pals!
Mommy's snow bunnies!
We almost got the whole crew!
Inside for a snack and movie to warm up
Is he seriously almost one??
Maryn's grouchy face...
Maryn's super cheesy face!
Snuggled up :)
Time to gang up on Daddy!!
Oh no...he got up!
Don't worry Mom, Theo is showing me how :)

In a matter of days he figured out how to get on and was so proud of himself

Birthday buddies!

Singing "happy birthday" to Uncle Scott!
Love that smile :)
They could not wait to get into that chocolate cake!

Chicago

Two days after Christmas we drove up to Chicago to spend three days with Jeremy's family.  This has been a tradition for several years, but with the boys being born close to Christmas we had not been the last two years.  We stayed on the Mag Mile and enjoyed shopping, eating, and venturing to one museum.  We even got a date night.  It was great to be with family and especially for the kids to spend time with their cousins :)

One last picture before heading home...

a BIG snow storm!!!

The day after Christmas we got a BIG snow!  Maryn was so excited to see all the snow on the ground when she woke up.  I can't exactly remember how much we got, but around 6 inches maybe.  We had planned to leave for Chicago, but ended up postponing our trip one day.  Maryn loved being able to go outside with Daddy and have some fun in the snow!

Snow angel time!
The end product!
Not sure what was going on here...it looks like she is calling a "safe" play :)
Maryn loves the snow!
