A New Year

We enjoyed the rest of our Christmas break before our lives got crazy again.  We went to a Japanese restaurant so Lydia could try real ramen.  Yum!

It was fun to try lots of new stuff.  Isaac loved his miso soup.  Bridget liked the California rolls. But the only thing Alice ate was rice.

The girls turned Lydia into a library.

We went to the Natural Science Museum and saw their model train exhibit, only here for Christmas.  It made us remember last Christmas and the amazing model train museum we went to with Oma and Opa.  Was that only last year?  

We finally went to the museum’s butterfly house.

This was one of my favorite butterflies.  It is literally called the dead leaf butterfly.

And the glasswing butterflies were so pretty!
