In the neighborhood...

In the neighborhood today we enjoyed this view.....

After a week of non stop POURING rain the clouds lifted and this was the view! SNOW! See we have winter here.

Also today in the neighborhood Jane went to an Chinese-themed birthday party......she quite enjoyed dressing up AND having her picture taken

I just LOVE my neighborhood.

Happy Birthday Jane!

Jane turned 11 today.......REALLY can't believe it! We started the day off with a trip to the donut store and then we were off to see Mary Poppins in LA! LOVED IT! The day ended with dinner out with mom and dad and then home for cake with some special friends! All in all I think her day was great!

Touch N Brush was a hit.........(Aunt Megs idea)

fun with cousins!


of course we had Strawberry Shortcake for dessert.....

What a garden in January can do.......

Due to the unusually warm weather our garden is still flourishing!! Salad and hamburgers tonight!

SATURDAY TO-DO LIST:

*take down all signs of Christmas, very sad

*remove the love notes to Jake off the sidewalk
*wash the cars


*and lastly, remove toilet paper from the front trees (yes, again) This once tedious task is now quite fun since Nate has discovered you can set the TP on fire and watch it burn (much easier then using rakes and broom sticks)

Goodbye 09.......

What timing!! Right in the middle of cartwheels!

Another beautiful day!
