Snow Day!

 We woke up to a white blanket of snow!

And the powdery flakes continued falling until late afternoon,

Pure magic.

Evie was enjoying being held and would say "s'NOOOO", catching flakes with her hands.

But, as soon as I sat her down she wouldn't stop crying.

She was not sure of being set down and stepping on the strange new texture.

 Mako loved playing and running through the thick snow. He refuses to wear a coat most of the time.

 Oh I love my little guy! And a snow day.

Happy 3rd Birthday Mako!

 Happy Birthday! It was a beautifully sunny (but very cold) tuesday birthday for our Makoto James.

 Breakfast was pancakes as requested. When I originally asked what he wanted for lunch he said cereal ha. He's at a age where he is so busy that we really have to almost force him to eat! Ahh!

 Evie is always so ready to bless the food!

 Our next stop was the local toy store so Mako could ride all the 50 cent rides!

 Looking at cars and vehicles...

 We had a dinner of Salmon, roasted potatoes, cranberry walnut salad and bread. Then is was present opening time, something Mako has gotten very good at since Christmas..

 Papa made this gorgeous strawberry shortcake for our birthday boy.

 A busy day!

We hope this will be a year of growing, learning and playing for our adventurous rocket loving boy!
