2013 year in review - Post 1 of ???

We spent most of our Christmas break at home.  I admit to feeling a little guilty for not going out and "doing things" with the kids.  But, in all honestly, that is all we ever do!  We are ALWAYS doing things - from gymnastics, piano, dance, hockey, catechism, and the just finished Lego robotics season, almost every evening is booked.  It has been nice to just be at home, not stick to a schedule, and enjoy new toys (and a new puppy too).  We have done a few things - saw a movie, went ice skating, and of course celebrated the holiday with our family - but we were mostly home...and it was great.

Here is what the Browns were up to this year (let's see if I even remember how to blog)

In January, the girls had their yearly dance pictures taken.

In February, the girls both played a piano piece in the schools talent show.

We went to Uncle Mikey's to skate on his backyard hockey rink.  Cousin Logan and Cameron had fun playing.   The girls watched and played in the snow since they didn't have their own skates (they do now :) )

In March, Daddy took the girls to the Daddy/Daughter dance.  They always have a great time!

The end of March brings us the Zajaczek Polish Dance recital.  Always a busy time, but I think the show gets better and better every year!

After the recital, we came home to celebrate Alyssa's birthday.  8 is great!
