January started with Uncle Bobby heading back to Hawaii and then he will deploy for 12 months to the desert, but we hope to Skype him with while he is gone. The kids loved the time they got to spend with him and hope he we will see him sooner then later!
January 10th we had snow and Lilly got to play with her friend Gray and Gray's barbie jeep. The girls were crusin' around listening to tunes in the snow!
Intermeditly we have had some warmer days so we took advantage of them and got outside on the swing set. MJ loves to swing just like his big sister and it works out perfectly since we have two swings. Lilly is now a big help since she loves to push the swing and MJ is not as floppy!
One weekend Lilly asked for a big girl bed and we made it happen. She loves her new bed (mostly for jumping on), but has had no trouble at all sleeping. It's nice not to have to lower her down into the crib, but interesting to hear the pitter patter of little feet in the morning. Now on to the next task of getting her potty trained through the night!
Enter January 22, 2011....we got 7-8 inches of snow and Lilly was not a fan of the blowing snow, but the next day she loved riding her four wheeler on the iced over roads. We built a small hill in the front yard and did some snow tubing down it. All in all a great day!
