Daddy's Birthday

So levi was SUPER excited about daddy's birthday today, and it ended up being a really fun day because daddy got off of school for "hazardous weather and flooding" which meant a day off for no apparent reason! (I guess there were some road closures somewhere in the county!) Levi thought that he would probably want to ride the carousel or go bowling (2 things he really likes to do himself) but he had to settle for a special ice cream cake we picked out for him and helping him open his present. (To levi it was really fun to have a secret that Daddy didn't know about with the cake and present.) I guess any reason for a party is a fun day for a 4 year old!

Snow!

Levi was REALLY looking forward to the chance of snow we had for saturday. He couldn't wait to make snow balls and a snowman. And we really did get a little snow so he was super excited. We had to go out right away in the morning so that it wouldn't melt before he got to have his fun! I know it must look quite pathetic to all you Michiganders who get to play in tons of snow and still have snow on the ground once you make a snow ball, but levi was just excited to see any snow at all!

This bath picture is just an example of how Ck likes to copy EVERYTHING right now. She likes to mimic words but also whatever her brother does! He is washing his hair himself, so she wants to try washing hers herself too. Quite funny.

Ck on her feet...

Slowly Ck is taking to her feet. She just decided to get up and walk behind her stroller when we got home from thanksgiving. She is quite proud of herself as you can see and she has already gotten steadier and better at turning.

Hanging lights with Papa... Hating to say goodbye to the cousins who are so fun! :(

Gs 60th Anniversary party....

So here are a few pictures from our quick trip to Michigan. Levi asked why he has so many cousins that live in Michigan, 13 actually, and we wonder the same thing when it is SO cold! :) He enjoyed seeing them all though and looks forward to christmas time.
