January Thoughts

Found this draft I never published from Jan. 2018!!
Needless to say, I did NOT keep up with my resolution as this was 2 years ago! Haha..



One of my resolutions this year was to do a better job at keeping up my blog! I’m going to at least post once a month about life happenings. It’s hard to believe that January is coming to a close already!
Rewind to my last update...we had the most amazing trip to Disneyland and can’t wait to go back! It was probably my most favorite trip we’ve ever taken. I cried happy tears more than once! I can’t think of a better way to spend a 5th birthday, but we’ve all had the Disneyland blues since we got home.

We had a good Christmas—although not the best whilst battling the flu, it was probably the most magical one for the kids so far! They are the perfect ages for getting excited over every detail of the season and they got literally every gift their little hearts could desire! Jon and I, however were really sick for a week each so we didn’t do as many Christmas activities as we usually do, but we squeezed in as much fun as we could!

After Avery’s fall theater class wrapped up she was begging to audition for their production of Mary Poppins. She’s been rehearsing for a few weeks now and will be in 5 of the performances as part of the ensemble. We are so proud to see her be so independent and brave as she drifts into the sea of big kids during each practice. She is by far the tiniest one out there, but she is loving it so much!! The rehearsals are really going to get really intense as the show gets closer but she says this has been the most fun activity she’s done so far.

I can’t believe Jonah is only a few months away from being 3!! He is becoming a real big kid more and more each day! He’s officially potty trained  as of December and to hold up my end of the potty training bargain he is now sleeping in a “huge night night” as he requested. I can’t believe he’s really not a baby anymore but the age he is at is the absolute sweetest and everything he does is hilarious and cute. He’s already planning his birthday and says he wants a Hulk Excavator birthday with Mickey cookies so we will see how his vision changes over the next 3 months.
