Aaron's Birthday

Here are the photos of the little man's birthday. He was in a very somber mood yesterday, so getting a smile out of him was near impossible, but I did manage... finally! I must have taken a million photos and bribed him with just about everything imaginable... who knew that a simple straw would finally do the trick?!?

Friday evening we just happened to be shopping at Sam's when AARON spotted this HUGE frog. They had an adorable puppy and elephant as well, but he was totally set on having the frog. He loves his new "Buddy" and you ought to see him carrying this thing around... hilarious. Other than Buddy, he received a Doodle Pad, a game, snacks, and his first "Bike." What more could a little boy want?!?

Adam impressed us again with yet another masterpiece. This is one of my new favorites... of course I say that about each one ;o). It turned out so neat. Aaron was a little nervous about the blowing out of the candles so his brothers had to help him out a little.

We were so excited to have some warm weather and lots of outside time this past week. I am glad we took advantage of those times because it is coming down like crazy out there today. This snow is so wet and slushy... not good for driving in and definitely not fun to shovel. BUT, it worked just right for making a few snowmen!
