Finishing up Random January stuff

Luke had a boys over-nighter and ice-fishing excursion with his friends on Jan 18-19th, so the girlies and I took off to Price to attend cousin, Jocelyn's princess tea-party birthday! Added bonus, we were able to celebrate cousin, Aden's birthday the night before at McDonalds play-place since we weren't able to attend his actual party the Sunday prior.  (wish we could make it to every family event!) 

But we knew well in advance about Jocelyn's party, and so luckily could make it. Tianna wanted to dress up as Rapunzel and Adelia wanted to dress like Minnie Mouse. She INSISTED she have her face painted like Minnie too. And if you know Adelia, you KNOW how persistent she can be. 

It was a really cute party. The kids loved it. 

Sweet Linaya dear turned 3 MONTHS OLD on the 23rd.

And she discovered her HANDS! Now that is alllllll that child wants to do! It was quite the task to get a picture of her without her fists shoved into her mouth. Silly girl. 

It is SO hard to get a picture of her smiling. She always stops smiling as soon as I take the picture and makes an "ooooooooooo what is that?" face instead.  Finally I got one, but I had to be looking at her and not through the lens to get it! 

So.... our cat has a crush. It's on the little Rapunzel polly pocket doll. This video shows him on the hunt for her. He bypasses all other dolls in search of his beloved. Whenever he does find her, he takes off and will defend his prize at all costs.. 

Unfortunately, my camera ran out of disk space RIGHT when he found her so you miss that part. In the end you miss him grabbing her in this mouth and running off to hide with his Rapunzel.  He captured the poor poor princess. 

And last on my January stuff.......... Winter. 

This has been a crazy winter. Between the continual snow fall, the COLD! and the inversion............ ug. After a few really nice days that melted much of the snow, winter showed her face again and blew really really hard, leaving these crazy drifts outside our house. 

That black thing is our barbecue! 

Now, a month later, it's still snowing and that drift is still present. I.Am.Ready.For.Spring!
