Spring Break

This past week was Spring Break. We had fun celebrating Melissa's fifth birthday. She really wanted both this dress and the Minnie Mouse balloon.
She had four friends come over for a birthday party. We had an Easter theme to her party with crafts and puppets. Brownies and ice cream were the birthday treat.
Then after the party ended we packed up our van and headed to my parent's cabin. It is about 1 hour away and we thought it would be fun to go and stay there for a night. Here is Melissa excited to be at the cabin and showing off another new outfit and birthday toy.
The most exciting thing that happened at the cabin was Megan losing her first tooth. She had been waiting a long time for this day. Of course the snow was fun too. Holly made a snow fort but only half of her body fit in it.
Melissa loved sliding down the snow mounds.
The kids all thought it was fun to sleep in the same room.
Melissa made this snow creation, I'm not sure what it is.
And Scott found some cool animal prints in the snow.
Today I am thankful that:

*I got to attend the baptism of a sweet girl that has been attending my Beehive class for the past year.

*We got to listen to general conference. Doing so always makes me want to be a better friend, mother, and wife. Now I need to make some goals and work to carry them out.

*Holly can play on the piano, by memory, a beautiful YW song that we sang earlier this month in church called "Be Believing". A very talented lady in our ward wrote the song for us to sing for YW New Beginnings.

You guys are always doing such fun things. I'm so jealous! We may have to make a trip up to Seattle this summer to see you guys, your parents and my brother.
