After being snowed in several days, again, we finally ventured out to the mall to have some fun!

When Ellie first got this horse from Nana and Poppi, she was terrified of it. She finally decided it wasn't too bad and now loves it!

January went by so fast! We had snow, snow, and more cold! Apollos had an extra week of Christmas break because of more snow days! This winter weather is crazy!

We celebrated New Years at Bryan and Angie's. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins! Apollos made it till midnight and then fell asleep right after that!
The students each made train cars to where between classes and the teachers put railroad tracks down on the floor. They also watched the Polar Express while sitting in their train cars. Apollos had a blast!

This year for Christmas presents, instead of opening them all at one time, we opened one every 30 minutes or so. It made it last longer and gave them time to enjoy their presents throughout the day.
Ellie preferred to sit and play on the wrapped presents. :)
