January

January, glad it's over. It is always the hardest month of the year in the city. We survived by visiting lots of museums, play dates at friend's houses, indoor play spaces, and several visits to the library. We had a few days where it got to almost 40 degrees and even made it to the playground (but then had to leave quickly because Henry decided he needed nap). Us parent got sick, but the kids were spared. Another thing to be grateful for so far this year.
Pony rides on our trip to Chuck-e-Cheese.
The sweetest boy with the best smile! He loved this ride. It was not pretty when it was time to go.
Tickets, tickets, ticket. 
Lyndon had a lot of "early" nights, meaning he was home after dinner, but before the kids were in bed. Cheers were heard throughout the building!
I have been working on this project for a while and I finally finished it! This month has been perfect for staying indoors and working on unfinished projects and reading a lot. I have read about six books this month. Serious hibernation going on.
Snowmen in the Flatiron district.
We took one Saturday and had a family fun day. It was much needed and it was so nice to get out all together and enjoy the city. It is still a lot of fun, even with piles of snow on either side of the side walk and with the pedestrian walking sections blocked by snow. We got this awesome museum pass that gets us into a ton of kid museums in the city as well as around the world. We have used it to go to the Brooklyn Children's Museum, and on our family fun day we went to the Math Museum. Coolest museum! It is probably more enjoyable for kids a couple years older than Cosette, but we had a blast. Henry loved it! He was so happy doing everything. It was the coolest museum. Pictured above they are rideing bikes that have square wheels on a bumpy surface but because the wheels are square you have a smooth ride. Math! It's genius.


Henry's face. He really had the best time! Too early to call him my little mathematician?
Our disco babies.

Finally tried the cookie shot at the Dominique Ansel Bakery. Lyndon got the gingerbread mousse pine cone. It was competently edible. That DA, what a culinary artist. 
We survived winter storm Juno, which turned out to be a lot more hype than it actually was. We got a really fun snow day out of it and fulfilled Cosette's winter wish to build a snow man. It was a powder snow, so it was a nicely shaped snow pile complete with a carrot nose, olive eyes, and mouth, but she was beyond thrilled. Central Park has looked so beautiful, just like Narnia, with all the snow. That is a bright spot in all this cold.
Everyone literally was at Central Park that day. It was so nice to see the Park inhabited again because it becomes quite empty during winter. 
Making snow balls. 
Powder snow = snow pile snowman. 
Frosty returns!
We managed to squeeze in a date night, where we went down to K-town and enjoyed some Korean Bar-B-Q. It was amazing and we want to have it for dinner every night. 
There was also a lot of Asian French style dessert places. Asia knows how to make good bread and the cutest pastries. It was hard to eat this cute bear. Oh, and talk about a great photo bomb, haha.

After writing all of this January did not seem too bad. Everything is always better when we are together. Ain't that the truth.
