January 2022

 Can it really be 2022? I guess so. Here is what we've been up to this month. 


Fun with Christmas gifts!!




John made and painted a helicopter!

Savannah had a run-in with the coffee table while jumping on the couch. Knocked out one tooth and loosened up the other one really well. She was brave through it all.

Mark's Christmas present to me was a night away all by myself. I stayed at a cute hotel in Perry, IA and had a nice, quite night.

Went out to eat all by myself.

Cute, old gas station in Perry

Adriana has been working hard at show choir all year, and we are now entering her performances!

The other tooth came out in her sleep! On the way to school, I noticed it was missing! Luckily we found it in her bed.

All fancy

Abigail pampered Christine


We love these Iowa sunrises and sunsets

Fun with Dominoes

Another Christmas present I gave each of the girls was to skip school one day and they got to decide what we did all day. Adriana was the first. She slept in, we went swimming at the gym, got Pie 5 pizza for lunch and then watched Jumanji. Time is going so fast with her and she is growing into a beautiful young woman. Sure love her!

We got a nice snowstorm!


Abigail made a fancy fruit skewer for Savannah

Working on getting us un buried



On MLK Jr day we all went to Urban Air and Christine invited a few friends to celebrate her birthday. They all loved it!!



The birthday girl!!


A fun day with Alayna and Holly

Then we went sledding!


Except for John, we are all fully vaccinated. A day in Tanner history. :)

Savannah's day! We all swam at the gym and then Panera for lunch! After that we came home and watched a movie.

Abigail's day started at the gym where we both did a big workout. Then we went to IHOP and did some shopping at Target. That night we took everyone to see Sing 2 in the theater. I think our first time as a family to see a movie since COVID.


Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of Elena's day. She much enjoyed sleeping in! We went to Chick-fil-a for breakfast and then did some shopping. We also got some Crumbl cookie and Ben's Burgers for lunch. Then we came home and watched Father of the Bride.


Painting night at YW. They were all so creative

A llama in pajamas at the library.

100th day of school for Savannah. She wasn't excited to dress in old lady clothes and opted just for the necklace.

First time in the temple for these lovely ladies. We had a nice time and did dinner after at Texas Roadhouse.

We went with Elyn Larson. It was her first time too.

Fun at the Shaw's while we were at the temple.


Christine's 9th birthday!! Starting off with yummy sticky buns.

Gifts galore!

John gave Christine a few of his own toys. :)





She finally got her hermit crabs

Broccoli cheese soup for dinner.

On Christine's day we went to the gym and she got to go upstairs for the first time! She did the stair stepper and then we walked around the track. After our workouts we grabbed John from the kid zone and all went swimming. We went shopping to the Dollar Store, Crumbl, Wendy's and wanted to have lunch at Pie5, but it closed! We were very surprised. So we decided to go to Pizza Ranch and it was a hit. Then we came home and watched Clifford. It was a fun day.
