January / February 2026

Ok so I'm only six months behind... let's see what I can remember!

We celebrated Christmas with both sides of our families in January thanks to the flu!  

PJ day at the Donoghues

Giggles with these two
Playing cards

Later in January we went to my parents to celebrate Christmas.  My mom planned a road rally for us all... sadly my team lost, but we had fun!  Here's a few of the photos:

My team with our snowman mascot (I forget his name, but
it was awesome)

Reading Dr. Suess books

Photo with a bride and groom (thanks Sue and John!)

Cousins

My mom gave each kid a maze that has to be solved in order
to get the cash inside - kept them busy!

Stairball lives on

Mom's dessert game was on point

Ben and Evie both played I9 basketball this winter, which was a simple 6-week thing. Ben absolutely loved it, Evie not so much.  She had one girlfriend with her on the team, and otherwise it was all boys that were one to two years younger... so not a great fit, but the two girls dominated!

Homeboy Ben

Pretty representative of Evie's feelings

Ben turned 7 in February!  We had a family get together and also a class party at a local bounce house.

My baby is growing up!

Family!
Ben basically lived in his army gear for several
days thanks to Aunt Allison and Uncle Bobby

Ben's big gift was a guitar - he's taking lessons
and doing great!

Seeing Avatar - he was obsessed with these
movies for a while

Bouncing boys

Jamie led the kids in a kaleidoscope craft

We did a musical chairs style book exchange instead of presents
(because we don't have space for 20 gifts at home!).

Maggie continues to love archery, check out
