Happy birthday, Annaka!

We were very lucky this year to have enough snow to do a sledding party for Annaka's birthday. The kids seemed to really enjoy the icy sled run and stayed out for a couple hours before cake and presents. I think everyone was exhausted afterward (especially the adults)! I never made it out to take pictures of the sledding but here are some quick shots of the party.




The princess cake. I was having a hard time deciding how to decorate the cake so I made the one person with an art degree do it.(nod to Mandee) A treasure to behold... And eat!

Wyn is just too busy to bother holding a bottle with her hands.

The Princess Pancake

We often get up on Saturday and go to breakfast in Kettle Falls. This morning we bundled up and braved the somewhat icy roads so we could have a princess pancake. Aren't local joints that know who you are and do special things for your kids pretty darn cool?

The Somersault

Annaka is showing Adelyn how to do a somersault. Adelyn gets the idea but, needs some warm up spinning before she gets down to business. It reminds me of what our dog does before he lays down somewhere.

The Middle Child

Poor Adelyn has now become "the middle child." So, in an effort to keep her from getting lost in the mix, I dedicate this post to our sweet Adelyn.

A few weeks ago Adelyn got up from a nap looking like this. Some of my high schoolers only dream of getting their hair to look like this. For her, it's natural!

One of her sweetest smiles.

Adelyn, with her sister, dressed up for Halloween. Pretty awesome "wind in the hair" shot.

She's not sure what to do with the hat.
