Sydney Turns 3!

On Saturday, January 19th, we had a birthday party with family for Sydney. She chose Hello Kitty decorations and of course everything had to be pink. We had strombolli for dinner which was a big hit. Way to go Daddy!


Below is a picture of Sydney showing off her new tennis shoes. She also got a new coat, new backpack and lots of new clothes. This was good, because with her birthday being right after Christmas, we definatley did not need any more toys around our house.






But she did get THREE new babies, which made her very happy!







On Sunday, January 20th, which was her actual birthday, we went to the Maple Grove maze to play for awhile in the morning. To our surprise Sydney's friends Avery, Becca and Harrison from school were also there. It was Sydney's first time at the maze and she had a great time playing in the balls and going down the slides with her friends and big sister. That night we took Sydney out to dinner at MacTavish's in Brooklyn Park. Here's her eating her hamburger and carrots, just like she requested. Then her and Lindsey split a oreo sundae for dessert. I'd say, it turned out to be a pretty good birthday.

Winter Blues




Hello and welcome to our blog!!! After a weekend of being cooped up inside I think our family is officially suffering from the winter blues!! The girls and I were talking today on the way to school how much we are looking forward to summer. I thought it might be fun to post a couple pictures from last summer to remind us what we have to look forward to. Here is a picture of Lindsey playing in the row boat Daddy bought to go down Elm Creek last July. Check out the green grass behind her!!






And here's our bathing beauty who just turned 3 yesterday. Happy Birthday Sydney!!!
