Snowed In

A few weeks back we got over a foot of snow- we knew we'd be snowed in so we just got a bunch of food and hunkered down at my mom's house for a few days. It felt like being on vacation. Ryan and the girls made cookies and I helped them make snow ice cream.   It was really quite good.

Why is Easton always shirtless?!?!?

Then I put them in the bathtub to play with the leftover snow.  Thanks to my friend Dana for these great ideas!

I had a spa weekend with 5 of my high school best friends at the Elms so Ryan was alone overnight with the girls for the first time.  They had so much fun I think they hardly noticed I was gone!

 

 

Baby Cousin Wood and Easton's Birthday Part II

Sarah and I had a baby shower for our sister in law Courtney and Chris on the farm. It was super laid back and I think everyone had a good time. We can't wait to meet that baby girl here in a few weeks!

We played Baby Pictionary which was a blast.

Sweet Fisher is getting so big and more fun for the girls to play with.

 

 

Easton had another birthday party in Red Oak and was spoiled rotten.

On Easton's actual birthday we took her to Build A Bear- she'd never done that before.  It was definitely a learning experience for Emerson to just watch Easton and not get one herself.  I was pretty proud of her, she hardly complained.

Then we took Easton and Emerson to the Jumpy Jump at the mall- I'd say she had a pretty good birthday.

 

Easton is 3!!!

Our sweet girl turned 3. It's hard having two winter babies thinking of how to entertain a dozen kids indoors. Amber came up with the idea of having a dance party. It turned into lots of glowsticks and decorating shirts with glow in the dark paint. We had the kids go in the basement where the glow goodies were and they had an absolute blast. The kids danced for over an hour- it was so much fun and it was fun to just have a low key party at (my mom's) home.

The cake toppers were glow in the dark rings the kids got to wear.
