Frigid Cold, Birthdays, & Chickenpox?

Well, that sums up the last few weeks.
We had a small party for Davis' 4th and Andrew's 1st birthdays on Dec. 30th. Davis got the dinosaur and a guitar, what he really wanted. We made him a cake with chocolate cookies and rice ice cream. And Andrew actually ate his cake and made a little mess.


As you may know it has been COLD here. We survived the frigid temps and even faired a lot better than the rest of the country. We didn't have any problems with power or ice, just very, very cold.

And then there are the chickenpox, yes chickenpox! Two days after returning to school from the break Sydni got the spots. We still aren't sure where she got them, but being the nice sister she is, she shared with Davis and Andrew. Syd is no longer contagious but is healing the pox. And the boys just broke out with the blisters yesterday, so we still have a long week or two ahead of us.
