Look Out, She's 2!

Miss Maeve turned two years old this week and we sure had fun celebrating with her.  She has grown so much over the past two years.  She has won all of our hearts and figured out how to wrap us around her little finger pretty effectively with her big cheesy grins, exuberant giggles, and toothy kisses. 

Maeve makes sure she is always in the middle of whatever fun her brothers are getting up to.  She also loves to stay up late playing Webkinz and chatting with her big sister.  She is quick to snuggle with her daddy on the couch or sing and dance with Mommy at library story time. 
 
Her favorite things to say recently are:

No, no, no.
Meee!!! (said in a drawn out sing-song voice, she loves to volunteer for whatever is being offered)
Here ya go.
Here!
  and
Woyd, Woyd! (translation=Loyd - this is always yelled and never spoken in a normal tone)

Her bright smiles and happy ways brighten everyone's day.  Wherever she goes people always comment on what a happy, beautiful child she is.  I'm so grateful this happy, beautiful little girl was sent to us to enjoy and love.  We love you Maeve!

Xavier (with a little help from Mommy) made Maeve's birthday cake.  He picked a chocolate cake with chocolate chips and chocolate fudge on top, of course.  Chocolate is Maeve's favorite thing, after all.  He also put the candles on her cake.  He had such fun sticking them in that I think he got a bit carried away.  :)

 I think the fudge was Maeve's favorite part of the cake.  What do you think?

Loyd helped to wrap her presents and got them set up on the kitchen table.  He was also the offical present passer, making sure she got all of her gifts. 

Rebekah and I made some of Maeve's presents.  I crocheted a couple of doll dresses and Rebekah sewed a beautiful doll blanket and pillow set for her.  Maeve loves her doll babies and was very excited about her new toys. 

Dustin was the official camera man and distributor of cake.  He even bravely cleaned up our messy miss when she was all done.  That was no small job.  :)

It was a fun day to celebrate our favorite 2 year old and share some happy, chocolatey memories together. 

Happy Birthday Toddler Maeve!  We love you with all our hearts!

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!
