Old family photo. Only one smiling is Dad - haha. But I love this photo:)
Happy Birthday to my twin sister Vikki! I LOVE YOU!!!
Playing pictionary (our own version)
Hailey and Peter
I was sweeping and Adam grabbed the broom. He finished sweeping for me:)
This morning I woke up to Eli in our bed and Jacob on the floor by our bed. They sang Happy birthday to me with Daddy. After we got ready for the day the boys had me sit down so they could give me my birthday cards/presents. They all made me sweet cards. Eli's card was a painted rainbow with glitter pots of gold. Adam card had a painted house, the sky and sun, a snowman, and a light pole with some pretty glitter. Jacob drew step by step pictures and directions on how to make a paper claw. Jared made me a sweet card too. I opened individually wrapped socks with starbursts in each of them, three pair of gloves with starburst in them, and a new Dennis mug! On our drive into town Jacob wanted me to work on making paper claws. His directions were good and I made many as we drove. We met my parents and Hailey at Tim Hortons and they treated us to drinks and donuts. Thank you Mom and Dad! We stayed there and visited until it was time to head to Adam's soccer game. It was chilly this morning. Jacob rode with Nana and Papa (and Hailey) back to our house. Then this afternoon Vikki and her family came over. We made sandwiches and had chips for lunch. The kids had fun playing together. We went outside and took a walk on the trails in the woods. Back inside Kenzie came up with an idea for a fun game on the dry erase board (like pictionary). Someone would draw a picture while we tried to guess what they were drawing. Whoever scored 5 points first won. We used cards from pictionary jr to get ideas of things to draw. It was really, really fun and we played until dinnertime. The older kids went outside to play in the barn and had fun playing house. Adam played with us for awhile and then went outside to play. Eli was singing as he played in his bedroom. Peyton and Isaac took a nap. We made sloppy jo's and chips for dinner. After dinner we had cake and ice cream. Mom made me my favorite angel food cake and I made Vikki her favorite (yellow cake with choc frosting). Hailey gave us some really sweet cards that she had made. Thank you Hailey! Then we opened presents from Mom and Dad. I got a really nice hot thermos mug (keeps hot for 9 hrs), a cold thermos bottle (keeps cold for 12 hrs), and a bicycle mirror (from Mocha). Thanks you Mom and Dad(and Mocha)! This evening we sat outside by the fire and visited. The kids played in the woods and on the swing.
