Birthdays, birthdays and more birthdays!!

What an extremely busy weekend we had. We took a few breaks from packing and moving to attend THREE birthday parties this weekend. They were all A LOT of fun. Saturday night was Rafe's cousins, Nicolas and Bella's, birthday party at one of Rafe's favorite places: Chuck E Cheese! He had a ball. This one was in Asheville so they had different games and he loved every minute of it. He came away with some valuable prizes!

Yesterday morning before church we were treated to a nice surprise: SNOW! Poor Rafe, he is so desperate to play in the snow he was outside catching snowflakes in my flour sifter. It snowed pretty hard for about 30 minutes but by the time we left church it was all gone. We have our fingers crossed that the forecasters have predicted it correctly for tomorrow. Hopefully I will have LOTS more pictures of us actually getting to sled!

Yesterday afternoon we went to a birthday party at Pump It Up. This is Rafe's other favorite place to go (well, Rafe AND Cory!!) I don't know who has more fun. This party was extra special because the children got to do the rock climbing wall. Rafe and Cory raced to the top, but Rafe stopped about half-way up. I am sure he would have won though! After Pump It Up we went to Nana and Papa's house for the January family birthday party. The kids were WAY to wild for me to photograph but they had a great time running around the house. I am sure Nana and Papa crashed after 5 kids left. It is quite crazy over there!

This morning Rafe and I painted his Triceratops he got for Christmas. Of course we painted it green, but then Rafe added a few more colors to the mix. We had a lot of fun painting and I think it turned out very cute!!
