Adventure #2.

The second adventure to cross off our 2013 Adventure List (in February) was going to the Lincoln Children's Museum. We have a membership and LOVE it there. So much to do! And perfect for little ones!

We happened to have a free Saturday when Kevin was off.  Those are rare. (Since his days off are sometimes during the week, it's special when it lands on the weekend and we don't have obligations.)  So we spontaneously decided to head off to the Lincoln for the day! 

There's no business like SNOW business

Mid February we finally got hit with some snow.  When it was bitterly windy and cold, the kids got to enjoy it while it was here.  It never amounted to all that much snow, but it was enough for them.

Hannah: Party Time!

The following Saturday after Hannah's birthday we had the family down for her party!

 On the lunch menu:

curried chicken salad, Paula Deen's corn salad, olives, chips, and fruit kabobs.  

Each of those recipes are absolutely FANTASTIC and have received many compliments!!!  Highly recommend!

 

Present time: she mostly received art supplies, frilly clothes, or books. Perfect for our Hannah.

And what's a party without a CAKE?!

(red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting)

 Happy 5th birthday, Sweeter Sweets! Love you bunches!!

Hannah's Bday/Vday

I'm way way behind in the blogging business. Ya see, I used to blog while watching a movie or something. But now we stream shows via Amazon or something, and I can't upload blog pics at the same time without causing the streaming to lag. First world problems. =)

Sooo... back to Hannah's birthday which was 3 full months ago!

New tradition I made up: Birthday girl got the jackpot aka all the change from my wallet. (I needed to clean out anyway, it was getting heavy)

 We did some baking since it's one of her favorite activities.

This is us. If you couldn't tell.

Daddy brought her flowers. Hopefully the start of another new tradition.

We had a nice candlelit meal as a family for Valentine's Day.

And ended the meal with sherbet punch in fancy glasses.

And ended the day with sweet surprises from Mama. Thanks to Pinterest, I made homemade scratch cards. Their gifts were things like getting to play a game with me, or staying up extra minutes, or getting a piece of chocolate.

Fun day. =)
