"Fethuary" is a busy month!

The first part of the year is always a little hectic, recovering from Christmas and planning for the rest of the year...and it has become more crazy for us with back to back family celebrations!  "Fethuary" as Madelyn calls it, is Ben's Birthday, then Valentines Day, then a week later is my Birthday - then a week later in March is Madelyn's Birthday...and now a month later is Emily's Birthday!  Whew!  There's not really any planning involved for my Birthday, but getting things straight for the girls' Birthday in plenty of time so I'm not stressing at the last minute is crucial to my sanity!!!  So we scrambled a few weeks ago to have Valentines ready for friends at school and have the yummy cupcakes ready for the party AND get Daddy's Birthday wishes together and make his Birthday cake (cupcakes are so much easier these days!)  Here are a few pictures of the cupcakes Madelyn and I made for her party at preschool, yes...I went a little nutso with my camera!!





And Madelyn having fun at her party:



And as you've heard - Virginia has had an unusual amount of that white, fluffy stuff...what is it...oh yeah, SNOW!  It came one storm after another, so it piled up quickly!  It's been fun playing and it is all finally melting away after a month or so.  It was a pain for a lot of people who had to get out and drive in it and did get a little old after a while, but it was great while it was here - so pretty to look at and so fun for the kids, AND adults!
