What happened to January?

So... that happened! The month of January came and went! BUT it was a great one!

Steven and I started 2015 in a BIG way! After a fun night with some neighbors, I woke him up SUPER early with our bags packed and ready to go! He had NO IDEA! Our suitcase was sitting in the middle of the bathroom floor with two new bathing suits and Kenny Chesney playing in the background! He was so disoriented and confused...but once he realized what was happening, he was BEYOND excited! It was one of the coolest and most spontaneous things I have ever done! It was the perfect trip! We flew to Fort Lauderdale and drove down to Key Biscayne for 3 nights. It was so happy and perfect! I just may have fallen in love with a frozen Mojito! We got the recipe for this summer by the pool!
The rest of January has been filled with lots of work for Steven and I with some traveling thrown in! Mimi came to visit while Steven was gone last week! The kids love when she is here!Lots of board games with the kiddos and some awesome family time!
We also celebrated Jack being January Principal Pal! We are so proud of the leader he is at school and that he always conducts himself in such an amazing way! He is such a kind and wonderful child and we love him so much! Poppa and Nunno were here to celebrate with us at the Principal Pal Breakfast!
A few other highlights of the month... The kids had a fake campout in the backyard (Daddy almost burned up the entire lawn with this idea! ha!) I got a Level 1 Instructor Certification in North Carolina through "Training for Warriors"! Such a cool and rewarding experience! AND Steven and I attended the Governor's Inaugural Gala and got to see Ansley!!!!
AND we celebrated my birthday this past weekend! It was truly my perfect day! The four of us went to church together, to a fun brunch, ice skated at Avalon and then spent the afternoon home together making dinner and hanging out! I love special downtime with Steven and the kiddos!
Bring on Valentine's Day!!!! Hearts and hugs!
