January Draws to a Close

It's the last day of my most dreaded month of the year and I have to say that it wasn't so bad at all. As it turns out, January was a refreshing month, other then the unwelcome cold that seems to always linger when you have a toddler.

A few things that made January a happy month:

*The Bachelor (sorry, but it has to be said)

*Little weekend field trips with Ellie to Sky High and Lindsay Wildlife Museum

*A great date "day" with my husband (I dragged him to see Black Swan and then we had appetizers and drinks after).

*The discovery of "Super Suppers"

*American Idol (I love Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez!)

*Microwave Popcorn

*Baby Boot Camp

*Yummy fondue at Cooking Club

*Friends and wine (sometimes there are occasions they go hand in hand)

*Great neighbors

*A quick visit from my Dad

*A fresh haircut and highlight

*Pizza (for some reason we kind of ate a lot of it this month and I think January is supposed to be a month you don't eat a lot of pizza, but it was good).

*My blue rain boots. When it's cold and rainy, why not have something you look forward to wearing, you know?

*Brunch with my favorite Sister-in-Law and dear friend Kelly :)

*Soy Lattes from Starbucks

*A fun night out with friends at Vanessa's Bistro

*My little family (obviously), although I'm not sure we're really considered a "little" family anymore. It certainly doesn't feel that way.

Ellie likes to have "Brown Bear" at the center of all pictures recently

It's nearly impossible to get a good picture of both kids together

Just being lazy

I love his little double chin

I love him when he's all sleepy too
