| We came home from Christmas in Arizona to enjoy a visit from the Texas Melins. We had a New Years Eve Party at the ranch house and the dads put on a fireworks show to ring out the old year as the rest of the family watched from the deck. It was pitch black and I was trying to maneuver the camera with gloves on, so the pictures aren't great, but it was magical. L-R: Liana, Adeline, Sariah, Samantha, Aunt Elena, Heidi, Grandma Melin, James, Jared, Uncle Mike, and Niles. |

| New Year's ooo's & ahhh's |

| On New Year's Day, we met at Pine Creek to sled and cross-country ski, roast dawgs & marshmallows, sip hot cocoa, and enjoy the family. Here is Grandma Melin with her girls on the trail...four pretty girls! |

| Daddy kept everyone warm...fun way to start the year! *** |
Once the holidays were over, we had to get packed and ready to move. We had to say goodbye to Heidi's paper elephants...
 |
| I made them for her room back in 2007, but it was time to throw them out. |

On Monday, January 28th, Addie had her first band concert, playing my old flute.
She's a natural!

On Presidents' Day (2/18) I took the kids to the new Rainforest Adventure exhibit at the Museum of the Rockies, then lunch at Burger King (the only place with a playground for wild Niles), then some groceries at Costco & Walmart and home for naps. We got some bubbles while we were at Wally and enjoyed the sunshine for a while...spring is only a few blizzards away!
More photos soon...until then, here's the official song of February & March...
