Aunt Allison visited this weekend and she had fun visiting our winter wonderland and meeting Alex. She also made the entire family adorable knit hats! Thank you Allison! We are glad she got to visit and spend time with us and the children.
It has snowed AGAIN (TWICE!!) and we are at it outside trying to get the most of this winter before spring and summer comes. This time since Alex is officially six months old he gets to ride in the stroller proper and therefore get the luxurious weather shield to keep him warm while Brooke and I tackle sledding down the finest hills of the golf course. Also we finally get to make our ‘happy snowman’.
Monday it snowed 6 inches and basically shut town the city until Saturday afternoon. Monday night and Tuesday we had some fun playing in the snow.
Today AJ was off and so we had some family time together. Since the raining had stopped we took Brooke to a playground where we could enjoy the gorgeous sunny 50 degree weather.
Today was AJ’s 32nd birthday and also Alex is 5 months old. We got ready for the day by Brooke and I making AJ a ‘big one’ chocolate cake. We made him 4 layer super chocolate cake that Brooke picked out the decorations for his cake and it ended up looking like a volcano which AJ loved. AJ got to sleep in and then have blueberry pancakes for breakfast which was quickly followed by blissful hours of the house to himself while I took Brooke and Alex to a bounce house. AJ really wanted to go out to dinner as a family to Smokey Bones. It was the first time Alex was in a restaurant during his challenging part of the day and he gave his Daddy the birthday gift of letting him eat his dinner before we had to leave quickly and accidentally leaving bib, burp cloth, and Brooke’s water bottle behind. Luckily the nice waiter, with small kids of his own, tracked us down in the parking lot. AJ seemed to have a really good day. Happy birthday!!
*And YES, Alex is wearing Brooke’s old sleepers because my children don’t wear their pajamas out of the house and Alex says REAL men aren’t afraid to wear pink!
