The kids aren't minding the snow at all since it's one of our family traditions to have cinnamon rolls for breakfast when there is new snow on the ground . . . plenty of happy breakfast moments around here lately! Levi has also been enjoying plenty of snow shoveling moments (his favorite!). He was thrilled to venture out with Kevin Sunday morning to help shovel the walks at church also! We had good friends over for the afternoon of the Super Bowl and the kids squeezed in some sledding time at the park across the street before the commercials and snack-fest (and game!) began.
A recent highlight for us was the chance to share an afternoon and evening with Emily to celebrate her "half birthday" (she's halfway to 23 ~ oh my!). The other four kids enjoyed hanging out with their cousins while Emily tried out riding an indoor zip line, indulged herself in her favorite treat from Wendy's (french fries dunked in a Frosty-cino with whipped cream!). We also took her to see "Secretariat" and topped off the evening with her favorite ~ Chinese food! Without a doubt, half-birthday celebrations have become one of our most treasured traditions.
