Beautiful sunsets, falling branches, dog cakes & hot chocolate

 It's so hard to believe that January has already come and gone.  Jayden and Joel are now over 1/2 way done with the school year! We celebrated good grades with a fun dinner out at a China Buffet in Mansfield. 

Jayden and I also went to Lynway for some good ol pie, and John and Joel went and picked out a special treat!

 I had some snuggle time with Zella this month when I babysat a couple days:)

 One night we saw this beautiful sun set as we were about to eat dinner and I just had to snap a picture.

 Not many nights later we had a horrible windy night.  We woke up to some strange scratching sounds on our roof and we couldn't figure out what it was.  Well THIS is what it was! We are SO lucky it fell on the other branch or else we would have had a lot more damage!

 Cowboys and um...knights? Jayden was putting Joel through Knight training.

 One cold Saturday we had enough with being cooped up in the house so we headed to Wooster Memorial Park for a hike.  It was chilly but so nice to get out, the boys LOVED the adventure! We got a little off course with the snow covered trail but our little navigator's got us back on the right track;)

Enjoying our hot chocolate picnic in the car while we warmed up our toes and fingers!
