More Birthday Fun

 I took my friends to Build-A-Bear Workshop for my birthday and we all had lots of fun. Mom says she'd like someone else to lead my birthday party every year.

We wish(ed) you a Merry Christmas!

 Lots of fun (and some stressful sharing type experiences) were shared by the cousins this week.

 Is this not the cutest nephew imaginable?

 This one, too... how many kids get more excited about the orange in their stocking than the other toys?

 We sang some impromptu carols at the Lion's park in Coupeville.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Happy 5th Birthday, Elsa!

Our 3 kitties celebrated their birthdays today, too.

This card with googly eyes was quite a hit. I also tried on my new clothes right away and played with my new keyboard and Littlest Pet Shop hamster wheel. Thanks Grandmas and Grandpas!

Mom made me a very silly cake since she didn't buy me a pet rabbit for my birthday. (It was on my list...)

Just a note to any Moms reluctant to let your kids grow up: I was having some misgivings about letting my baby turn five. But 5 is still a baby!  (See the first photo for proof).

First Library Card!

Christmas Tree hunt

This year we combined a fun snowshoe trip with cutting our tree from the forest.

Stopping to enjoy some hot chocolate...

Sawing down the tree that we found at our turnaround point. Note to self (and to anyone planning on hiking with a tree): cut the tree down NEAR the car!

We love the sun.
