Love/Hate January

January is one of the best months in Florida.  It is nice and mild out, even a little chilly at times.  It is a time when the humidity is down, the bugs are few and far between and you can spend hours and hours outside.

We decided to have friends over to enjoy some of our new toys.

In the first week of the year, we went to Green Meadows Farm....still one of my favorite places to take the kids.  The weather was spot on, perfect.

I convinced Steve to go to the Magic Kingdom.  Surprisingly, the Christmas decorations were still up.  They will probably go down in the next few days.  Will got really sad about this.

Speaking of which....there IS a necessary evil of January that cannot be avoided.

It was so bad, that we had to have Steve's parents come so we could take down all of the Christmas decorations.  It was like two people cleaning up a crime scene as we swept up glitter until the last second before they got back.

And just....here is some wonderful cuteness of these kiddos.  I wish I could just keep them young.  They are growing so fast and I cannot keep up.  I love them with all of my heart and I know these years are some of the most precious that will ever be.  I try so hard to hold on to it.  To cherish it.  Am I?  Am I cherishing it enough?  My heart could burst with how much I love these two.
