Birthday Girl

-
We got to celebrate 7 wonderful years with our beautiful Rebekah this week.  She is my special girl who continually surprises me with her intelligence, work ethic, patience, generosity, kindness, and love.  She teaches me every day through her example.  I am so glad she is part of our family and came to us first to help lead the way for her brothers and sister.  She is a truly choice daughter of Heavenly Father and I am grateful she is part of our family. 

For her birthday we brought [Old] McDonald's Happy Meals to school for lunch with the birthday girl.  She then shared Fruit By the Foot with her class mates.   When she came home she opened up her fun birthday presents.  We played "Heavy, Heavy Hang Over," with the gifts and Xavier inadvertantly wacked her so hard with this gift that it made her cry, but we quickly laughted the tears away, she wished Xavier a $1000, and we got back to the business of opening presents.  It was pretty funny if you weren't the one getting whacked with a box.  :)  We had dinner at Ci-Ci's Pizza, per Rebekah's request, and then came home to eat cake after everyone got their PJs on.  It was a fun day and we all ate too much cake.  :)

Happy Birthday, Bekah!

This is Rebekah's calming influence at work.  She held Maeve for 5 minutes before the poor girl passed out, snuggled up to her big sister.  So cute!

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
