Lighting the candles

Under all those sprinkles they had actually written "Happy Birthday MLK" and "Thank You MLK"--can't see it buried under the sprinkles!!!

It's been a cold week here so far. I guess it's January and this is what it's supposed to feel like but it's been so nice that it actually feels colder than normal! I can't complain though! On Monday of this week the kids were off school for MLK day. It's nice to have them home in the winter when we can just stay home all day and not feel like we have to be out and about doing something! Our friend/neighbor Emma spent the day with us because her mom had to work which worked out well for Ellie because she had a friend to play with all day. At one point they had a tea party set up for the American Girl dolls---it was so cute but unfortunately I didn't snap a pic in time. We also made and decorated a birthday cake in honor of MLK. We did it last year and decided to make it a tradition! The kids had fun decorating the cake and then singing Happy Birthday! And now we are busy getting ready for another special birthday coming up next week----our little Jack will be 4 yrs old! Don't even get me started on "how did he get so old", "where does the time go"....I have no idea!!! I will post next week about his party, etc--we are looking forward to it!
