We celebrated Marci's 12th birthday today. Usually we get to celebrate with family, but this year we had 6 girls over to commemorate the day. (Turn your volume down when watching the sledding movies!) We started the day with games in the living room. They liked the secret signal game & trying to guess who had the signal. It worked better with adults, but you should see the way Titus raises his eyebrows & wiggles his ears! After game time we gather for lunch with Marci's requested menu: cheese soup & frog-eye salad followed by strawberry cake. The girls liked the soup, but were a tad suspicious about the salad because of Jared's description of how they caught all the frogs. After food, we opened gifts. Marci loved all of them! Then, for the best part... s l e d d i n g! Marci had been praying for snow and just overnight we got some fresh powder perfect for some outdoor winter fun. Like I warned you, turn the volume down:

The only "downer" was that Emily was feeling sick most of the day. She perked up & ate cake for supper this evening, so she's on the mend. Unfortunately, I'm feeling very worn down. I think it must be going through the ranks. Dan flies out to Iowa tomorrow, so he's trying to stay away from all of us. Have a great weekend!
