January

On New Year's Day, Ellie requested to go roller skating and Ryan requested to go see the Sonic movie.

Ellie and Ryan took a cooking class together.
We went to Scheel's for lunch and sled shopping.
The girls and I went to a fun playdate with my moms' group, and then they went for a sleepover at Noni's.
We had a fun dinner with Ryan at Viva Taco while they were gone.
We got lots of snow and Emma loved playing with it inside the nice warm house.
Ryan and Ellie enjoyed playing outside in it.
Ryan started basketball with some of his future Kindergarten classmates.
We were excited to cheer on Notre Dame in the playoffs!
Ryan went to a class about dinosaurs at the Prairiefire Museum.
Emma started Kindermusik with the same teacher Ellie and Ryan both had.

It was Ryan's turn for a sleepover at Noni's so we took the girls out for breakfast.
