January 2014 is past. It was a wonderful month! I don't think we've had this many snow days in one month since my first year of teaching, 16 winters ago. That was before kids, and I'm not sure what I did on all those days home alone! Now our snow days are filled with activity...even if we stay in our pjs. :-)
On Friday night, Greg and I were able to have a night out. Part of my Christmas gift was two tickets to the Cathedral Reunion concert, and we had fun listening to the songs that were popular when we were teenagers (which is a lot longer ago than either of us care to admit!). Thanks, Mom, for the tickets and the babysitting!
On Saturday, we drove the 90 minutes down to Franklin, OH, where my sister and her family live. We had planned a birthday gathering the week before, but the weather shut things down and it had to be postponed. It was crazy that by the time we reached Dayton it was 50 degrees! Seemed like it was time to break out the flip flops and lemonade!
Evan and Annie both celebrated birthdays in January, and Adam and Valerie's are both in February. So...we scattered candles all over a cake and had a party. :-) This picture cracks me up. Suzanna loves cake, and she'll always be found right near it (probably waiting for a chance to dip her finger in the icing). It's predictable and adorable. Apparently, Annie didn't want her picture taken. She'll probably get a kick out of seeing this.
And that is how January ended and February began!
