Snow at last!

There was talk of snow all day long and the kids could not wait.  It finally came right before bedtime, so we couldn't resist letting them enjoy it before going to sleep!  Here they are the next morning, enjoying it some more:

Cabin Fever

This is what you do when it is really, really, really cold outside:

Birthday Video

Five Years Old

Look who turned 5 years old today!  Here are some pictures from Jake's birthday party at the gymnastics academy:

Family photos:

 I wish I took some pictures of the full table once all the kids gathered in the party room to sing happy birthday, every seat was taken!  Jake had a blow out party, full of fun and smiling faces, not surprising since he's such a popular kiddo! 

 This was such a great way to celebrate Jake's 5th birthday.  Five just seemed like a major milestone to me, so we couldn't help celebrating it in a special way.  Jake is such a wonderful kid, full of life and love.  He attracts the attention of so many different kinds of kids.  Everyone loves to be around him.  He is such a bright, intelligent kid, a true leader in his class!  It's no wonder why so many wanted to join in to celebrate his birthday with us today :)

We love you big boy...so, so much!  Four is out the door, Five is alive!!
