Happy Birthday Amazing Grace!!

Our little Gracie is 6 today!! Where does time go? We had a little birthday dinner last night. This was my attempt at the requested " purple snowflake cake."

We got her a porcelain doll and she LOVES it. She came up to me after and said," Oh Mommy, I have never gotten anything like this before!" It was pretty cute. Here are a few more pics of the birthday girl!

1st big snow day of the year!!

I know some of us can't stand the stuff, but with 4 little girls and a dog that should be a sled dog....you can't help but get a little excited!



Our dog, Akiva, LOVED the snow. The girls kept trying to build a snowman, but she would steal the snowballs from them before they had a chance!



It snowed all day and most of saturday night and this is what Sunday looked like! It was beautiful.


Well this morning is another story....like the weatherman said..."its like a great big slurpie out there." It rained all night and we are supposed to get up to 70 mm of rain today.....Gotta love the west coast! Oh well....I hear there is more snow to come!

Fun at Nana & Papa's!

Just thought I would post some pics of our trip to Nana & Papa's....We love the west coast! The girls had soooo much fun....so did Daddy!



The Girls called it bubble beach.....and tested fate with the waves!!



It was a perfect weekend, very cold, but that didn't stop Gary!



This is what happens when you get a little too friendly with the wild west coast waves......
