Belated Birthday

On July 5th, Annelise turned 4 years old. We had a birthday party for her. She had a great time with her friends and was just telling me about her special cupcake. That reminded me that I have not shared the photos here. It was a hot July day so we had a morning party. Because of the 4th of July holiday being on July 5th, we were able to have the party on her birthday. I am sorry I did not post these sooner. The first few pictures are from a few days after her birthday. We went hiking after church, then went to the park for fireworks in the evening.

Another Snow Day

Church was canceled Yesterday because of the snow, but we were able to spend some time with church friends anyway. We went sledding and ended up staying much longer than we expected. Annelise enjoyed it at first, then got scared and wouldn't sled for a long time. Then as we were getting ready to leave, she decided she wanted to try again and LOVED it. We ended up staying for another hour or so. It was so much fun. Caleb even seemed to enjoy it...well, he wasn't crying.
