Assorted Pics and Video Clips from January, 2017

The Allen family started out the New Year in NC where we had the first of two birthday celebrations for Lexie's 12th.  A relatively quiet month besides that.  We are teaching Chance and Lex how to play Texas Hold Em and Dana got to go to DC for the Inauguration of Donald Trump. 

Who doesn't love jumping into puddles?
