And Finally Something!

After feeling like nothing was happening in January, a few things did happen.

Spencer pulled his first tooth out. At 7 years old and after seeing all of his primary classmates pull theirs out (literally, as one pulled hers out during primary) for the past 2 years, he finally got to pull his out. Nathan and the older girls were at the church and the younger 3 kids were in bed, so it was just he and I, but I got it on video and he was excited to surprise everyone.

Our Groundhog's Day breakfast.
Yeah for spring! It was 77 degrees that day.

The next day was freezing, though. I don't usually like to put cemetery pictures on here, but I thought the kids were really cute with all their hoods on.

We had a picnic and went to a park to enjoy some quiet, family time.
Forget the playground equipment, we spent most of the time walking on the beams.

Playing house in a tunnel.

The next day was Madalyn's 9th birthday. She and Kylie made a candyland cake. They had a blast decorating it.

I think Madalyn's birthday is the favorite around here because it's the first holiday after Christmas and New Years. The kids always look forward to it.

Adorable cake! My 6-year-old hasn't lost any teeth yet, and is getting antsy about it.
