Round Here

January is such a slow month. At the end of every year, I make a book of my favorite family pictures month by month. There are some months that require 3 pages. However, January and March only usually have like 2-4 pictures each. The winter is rough! 

 Chris and I bought out Targets 70% off Christmas section. We got each girl a little Christmas tree for her room and a tree full of non-breakable whimsical ornaments. The girls love their trees. I catch Juliet changing around her ornaments often. Leah's favorite is the "turtle dove" just like from Home Alone 2. We said they could keep their trees up for the month of January. 
 Now that it is 2015, we had to watch Back to the Future 2. It is set in this year, you know. :) We are holding our breaths for flying cars and self lacing shoes (especially Leah. She is easy frustrated trying to learn to tie shoes).
 Leah got Caroline for Christmas from my mom. It seems to be one of her favorite presents! She is forever hauling that doll around and telling us what she needs. She loves to peruse the American Girl catalog and tell us all the accessories she needs. Today I spent about an hour watching You Tube videos on how to keep her hair looking like a rats nest. All the videos were done by 6-10 year olds. I was so shocked. We found a video that an adult actually did. We learned that to maintain Caroline's hair, you need to use a tooth brush to brush out each curl. Then you have to redo her curls using your fingers and a little twisting. She looks much better now! :) 
The girls have been on vacation time most of this week which means that they wake up between 8-9 am. Then we have lunch at 11. They don't each much, because they've just had breakfast a few hours before. They are starving when they get home from school and Susan's house!
