Happy Birthday, Dad!

Happy birthday to my dad! Happy birthday to uncle Tom! And happy birthday to our friend, Nickie!! We had a fun, low key day today. I worked really hard to make a cool card for dad and mom made us some yummy dinner and cake for dessert. But the hardest thing I did today was practicing how to sing "Happy Birthday" to dad. How do you think I did?

Crazy Winter

Yesterday, it was about 50 degrees and sunny here. That is a far cry from how this past January was. But the huge snow banks are still here! They are so tall they tower over my head. One day, after a big storm, mom and dad even let me help them shovel. I just wish the snow wasn't so deep. Poor Emma and I just sink right into it! Mom says it's starting to melt with this warm weather stretch, but I sure do hope I can have a few more sledding days before winter is over!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone is having a great Valentine's Day! We had such a great Valentine's Day weekend and I'd like to share the highlights. We had some yummy pizza on Friday night and a super fun music class on Saturday. But the big part of the weekend was heading to a train museum to check out a cool city made of Lego's!! There were huge skyscrapers, an amusement park and aliens, all made out of Lego's. And the best part was the 4 Lego trains that were going on Lego tracks all around the cities! Plus there were other rooms with model trains and other cool cars and scenery's. After we hung out there for a while, we all went out for a yummy lunch. Today, I made dad a special Valentine and helped mom make a yummy dinner for us (I helped pick out the cupcakes for dessert). It was definitely a delicious day!

And if you really want a good laugh, check out the newest word I learned about a week ago!

What's For Dinner?

So the past few days have been pretty rough around here for everyone except Emma! Mom, dad and I all got a stomach bug on Monday night and it got even rougher from there. Dad was home on Tuesday and Wednesday and couldn't even get out of bed. They took me to the doctors yesterday since I still wasn't feeling all that great. But they had some yummy juice boxes there and after half of one, I felt soo much better! I was still feeling a little yucky this morning, but by nighttime I was feeling better and I could only think of one thing: pizza! It was so hard just sitting there, waiting for it to cook but it was worth it. My appetite totally came back and I ate a ton of pizza and ice cream for dessert. So glad everyone is finally feeling better!!

Yet Another Busy Weekend!

I don't know about mom, but I sure am beat from this weekend! Mom took me to my friend Max's house on Friday for a great playdate. We played with his new train set and had some yummy bagels for snacks. After an awesome nap, we went out to dinner with dad for delicious stir fry. On Saturday, we had music class and then a surprise birthday party for my friend Tyler's mom. It was so much fun since our other friends Juliana, Max and Lydon were there, too! This morning, my friends Spencer, Charlotte and Clive came over for a playdate and pizza party lunch. I loved showing off my new toys and playing with everyone. But boy do these busy weekends make me exhausted! Of course mom didn't take any photos this weekend, so I have to post some videos taken during our trip to Michigan at Christmas. Enjoy!

Holy Snow Day!

Well, we survived the big storm today! The news said we got about 18 inches of snow today but it sure does seem like a lot more than that. The snow was all the way up to my waist! I was able to crawl on top of the snow and bend down and grab a bite whenever I wanted. Then mom brought out the cool new sled we bought yesterday. She pulled me all around the backyard and I couldn't get enough! Dad dug out the back porch so Emma has a space to go to the bathroom. And all that piled up snow made for a great little sledding hill for me! I can't wait to play out in the snow again tomorrow!

Getting Ready For A Blizzard

Mom says that we're getting something called a "blizzard" tomorrow (she said it's definitely not like the kind we got at Dairy Queen this summer, bummer). From what I've heard, it sounds like we're going to get a ton of snow and I cannot wait!! We went out today and got a new sled, new coloring book and snacks so we are all set to be snowed in. Mom even got me some yummy movie theatre popcorn on Sunday and I'm still working my way through the bag. Soo good!!

To keep busy, mom broke out the alligator mittens that grandma Joyce made for us for Christmas presents. They are soo much fun to play with! And they sure are great for chomping on dad's toes and bum! Sounds like I'm really going to be busy tomorrow!
