Uncle D was there for both birthdays.  Here Munchkin is getting ready to blow out his candle on the Winnie the Pooh cupcake.  He didn't even wait for us to sing Happy Birthday to him, he blew it out right away!

 The Pooh head was just a plastic thing.  I don't know how mothers who work full time do home made cake things.  I just can't seem to pull it together...so store bought it was!

 Although every one else had home made egg and milk free cupcakes...they weren't quite so pretty mind you.

 Little Dude figured that enough icing makes anything taste good!

 Uncle D left on Friday and it had just snowed a little bit.  Here the boys are playing by Big E's car across the parking lot from our unit.  There's barely enough snow for their snow angels.

 2 days later it looked like this.  See the mounds of snow by the wall behind my vehicle?  That's where they boys had been playing in the previous picture.  They are now excited to be out shoveling, making snow angels and caves, generally digging around.

 We're back to snow pants.  You might not think it's that big of a deal, but our winter here has been so warm that we haven't been in snow pants much.  It has been balmy here!

 At least until now.

Here's a shot of the tree just outside my front door. 

And here are the boys having fun together outside.
