Shecklets #3 and 4 were invited to a birthday party today. The weather was unseasonably warm so swimsuits and water play were part of the fun. There were inflatable pools, a bounce house and a blow up obstacle course! Aunt Larissa was also there, which made it even more fun!
Shecklet #3 spent two nights with Nana while Papa was out of town. Part of their time together was spent at the stable visiting Rio and riding Kid. The cowgirl also got a new pair of sparkly boots 🙂
We met one of the Shecklets’ cousins and aunt at the park this morning.
From the park, we grabbed lunch and went to the office for a bit so I could catch up on work. Then we stopped over at Nana and Papa’s house where he kids helped Papa wash the Kubota and then got to drive it, played in the backyard, and had a picnic dinner on the front yard. Perfect summer day!
We attempted to go to French Lake Park today, but upon our arrival, found out that it was completely leveled. We were disappointed it was closed, but look forward to what it’s replacement will offer. We did find a consolation park about a mile away and the kids had fun sliding, running, spinning and swinging.
It’s a tad chilly (hence my hat) but the fresh air and sunshine are awesome!
But enough to go sledding for a little while, thanks to Dad dumping snow from the front to their sledding track.
Jake took the kids to the Christmas tree farm where Grandma Patti is working for a few weekends this Advent. There was no snow, but plenty of mud! Aunt Kari captured these pictures and sent them to me.
The crew also stopped at a park after tree hunting. Turns out, Jake has a playground with his name on it!
Another birthday, another year older. But I’m not counting. Just trying to enjoy the day, giving thanks for good health, family and friends to share experiences with, and looking forward to what’s in store for the coming year.
My MIL came up to spend some time with us and we had a chance to be outside enjoying the heavy, wet snow.
Jake donned his party shirt for dinner and cake tonight. Love how his guy loves loves me ❤️
Heavy, wet snow fell yesterday afternoon and evening. Shecklets 1 & 2 helped me shovel the driveway and then played outside, built mini snowmen and wrote letters in the backyard snow. Then, this afternoon, Jake and the boys added white lights to the green and red lights on the pine tree in the backyard.
