The Rest of January

January went by in a blur as we focused on getting the kids back to school and celebrated Holdens birthday. We took a trip to the lake, honed our cocktail skills and took out our aggressions on a DT piñata. It was a nice start to a whole new year.

The Lake -

After our hike we took a very chilly boat ride.

Back at home we worked on our ball skills both on the court and greens…

We also tested out some new skills in the kitchen…

I baked my NINE year old a cake for his birthday full of ALLLLLLLL the sprinkles…

and we celebrated the Dowds birthday with a very festive piñata..

We explored downtown Houston…

while Dolly basically hibernated…

Little did we know we all should have been doing the same, as February was about to bring the coldest temperatures, (and a lot more) that Houston’s ever seen….
