Claire is turning three next month, so we took advantage of this weekend's beautiful weather to take some special birthday pictures.  More to come soon! 

Time for Tea

This past week has been extremely cold.  For example, when I drove home from work Tuesday morning, the temperature was -9 degrees, but the wind chill was more than 30 below!  It was DEFINATELY a tea day.  When I woke up from my day-long nap, the first thing I reached for was my tea kettle;  the second was my fabulous Vera Bradley mug.  It's amazing how just a little hot tea or coffee can warm up your life! 

The Best Birthday Party Ever

Here's to getting back on track...

Two weekends ago, we celebrated the birthdays of my 3-year-old cousin Hailey and my 18-year-old cousin Preston. After the nicities of cake, ice cream and presents, the kid cousins whipped out their nurf guns (much to the surprise of some of the adults...). As an assault of nurf "bullets" flew through the house, my 5-year-old cousin exclaimed, "This is the BEST birthday party EVER!"
