HBD #14 to Shecklet #2

Shecklet #2 celebrated his birthday mid-week this year. His dinner request was homemade mac-n-cheese and key lime pie for dessert (which was not homemade.)

He received some of his favorite snacks, (including some from one of his science teacher & her daughter,) a new pillow, and a book with the photos and blog content his Aunt Bri wrote after his trip to Lake Tahoe last summer. (I was pretty pleased with how it turned out.)

To top things off, his godmother stopped by to greet him and deliver a gift.

I might repost this blog post each year, while adding to the photo collage of the many faces of this kid. It’s just too much fun to not share again!

To continue his celebration, he hung out with a few of his friends on the 26th. They had pizza, played video games, ping pong, and Kids Against Maturity (a gift from one of his buddies.) 14 seems to be off to a lively start for him!

Gnome walk with friends

One of the local suburbs sets up a gnome walk in different city parks. Today’s walk was a small/short one, but just enough for us to get a little fresh air before going to the indoor playground. These kids crack me up!

On the slopes again ⛷

Another day of skiing for some of the Shecklets and their dad. Shecklet #3 has given skiing a try and likes it. Shecklet #2 brought his friend along for the day. It sounds like warmer temps are on the way, so it might be their last day out of the season.

The hairnets are compliments of FMSC. We picked meals with our Saints Yes! kids from church this morning.

Finally found a word that defines my frantic attempt to get ready before someone comes over. Several of my friends told me that they can relate.

We got to celebrate my godson’s birthday this afternoon. I didn’t get a picture with him this time, but I DID get one with his mom!

Cookie and house decorating

Our friends the J’s hosted us and another family for an afternoon of sledding and cookie/gingerbread house decorating. It was SO much fun! The table was decorated in such a festive way and the treats, including a hot cocoa bar, were amazing!

Sweet new baby

My good friend and her family welcomed a new baby in late November. I was able to meet her today, catch up with MS, and get to see my godson as well!

November 23, 2021

Our friends, Melissa and Tom, treated us to delicious Vietnamese takeout to celebrate my latest trip around the sun (a few days before my actual birthday.) The food was delicious, the game we played was fun – and we laughed a lot! And I received thoughtful gifts of earrings and a puzzle. One of the most notable parts of the night was walking in and seeing my heads on the motorbike sign that they had for their little guy’s reptile party a few weeks earlier. I never knew I was so adventurous!

My actual birthday was on a Tuesday and we were hosting our friends for a few days. I made a new chicken recipe for dinner and baked the famous Settergren chocolate vinegar cake with GF flour – and it turned out great! A few friends came to help me celebrate and see our visitors.
