Cake preparations!

Harmonie was so excited to work on her birthday cake! Kevin had taken the older kids to church activities so I had the younger girls. Harmonie was so nice to let the other girls help. It was an ice cream cake, covered with whipped cream and decorated with sugar Olaf the snowman and sugar snowflakes, and sugar snowflakes on top. Not amazing but they had fun!

End result!

Poor little thing - bruise from sledding!

She's so tough!

Castle Museum

We took Chris to the Castle Museum. I was excited because I thought there was a great new display. I was so disappointed when the main display was not what I expected and it was not anything I wanted to see or have the children see. Oh well. They showed Chris all the other stuff that don't change. It was another nice outing.

More fish fun!

 Naomi is getting so big - and loves her thumbs!

We added more fish!

Meet Tia, the female guppy.

Chris and Fredrick, lampeye tetras

to keep Fiona company.

Kevin picked out some ground plants.

Chris picked a bungalow.

It has been so fun to have the fish tank. We love to watch them swim around.

Out to dinner!

Chris treated us all to dinner at Olive Garden. Everyone enjoys the bread sticks!

Hooray for sledding!

Last time Chris came, we didn't have snow to go sledding. This time we did so they all enjoyed sledding. I stayed home with the baby because I still wasn't feeling well. The kids all had a great time and were thrilled to be out playing!

Marissa helped Chris come up the hill.

Chris took turns riding with all the kids.

They found a jump and caught some air.
