Happy Birthday, Maeve!

-
 How on earth did we get to birthday #7 so fast!  This clever, imaginative, talkative, friendly, beautiful, kind, loving, artistic, and all around amazing little girl turned 7 years old this year. 

Maeve has been a burst of life and joy since the moment she was born.  I laugh at her craziness and her goofy dance moves, I marvel at the depth of her understanding of the love of God for her and for all mankind.  I love how much she takes to heart the commandment to do to others and you would have them do to you as she tries to show love and friendship to all she meets.  I am grateful for her sharp intellect and joy in the quickness and creativity of her mind.  I am always humbled by the gift that she is in my life and the loving Heavenly Father that sent her to me. 

Maeve, we love you so much and are grateful for another wonderful year in the books and the exciting expectation of another adventurous year ahead!
  Maeve figured out a nontraditional way to blow her candles out with this air pump :D
 

 We made her try a more traditional candle blowing technique for the pictures.

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!
