A few miscellaneous pictures

A few things going on around our home:

We decided to have a little last minute family fun before school started back up so we spent the night at the Marriott Marquis downtown.  The main reason was so we could have a fun swimming pool to enjoy, but also because it is close the Centennial Olympic Park.  We walked down there for the evening to enjoy the Chinese Lantern Festival.  It was so cool!  They had so many great light displays to enjoy.  Also, since the girls had just received cameras for Christmas, they were having a blast taking all their own photos too.  This was such a fun evening!
 These girls love their dog.  They love lounging around with him, smothering him in hugs and kisses (which he doesn't always appreciate), throwing balls for him to fetch, and walking him.  They are good dog-parents!

 Mia wasn't feeling well one day.  I knew that was true when I came in and she was in the middle of an almost 2 hour nap.  Such a sweetheart. 
 So super proud of Mia!  On the first day that school started back in the new year, she passed her multiplication tables all the way to 12 times 12!  She had been working hard on these, and that hard work paid off!
 We thought it would be fun to pick up a big cookie cake and decorate it one morning.  
 Ryan channeled his inner Bob Ross to make mountains and happy trees.
 Lily made a sunset beach scene, complete with coconut trees, M&M's for the coconuts, birds flying off and ground graham crackers for sand.  Mia made a heart with lots of colors and candies to give it texture and variety.  The best part of course is eating them up!
 2017 is starting off fun!
