Snowy Days!

We have had lots of snow this winter...which the kids love. It's resulted in school cancellations...which the kids love. Sledding, building snowmen and igloos, snowball fights....Such a fun winter!

Happy 9th Birthday, Sadie!!

Once, again, birthday season begins at the Stratton House! Sadie had a great day! She got lots of snow the day before her birthday, was able to sled a lot, didn't have to go to school because of parent/teacher conference, had Dad home, had a super fun P.J.'s and Pancake Birthday Party the day after her birthday...overall, a very fun few days! We sure love Sadie! She loves animals, drawing, learning to sew, reading and school. She adds lots of love and laughter to our home!

This is what I saw when I turned the corner into the kitchen. She cracks me up!

Champion!!

Well, we just participated in our last Pinewood Derby. After the disaster last year (Cole didn't win one race), Bart decided to get serious. :) We were hoping for at least one win! Lots of research later, Bart and Cole built a winner! Cole won all his races...winning overall. Many more smiles than last year! Great job, Bart and Cole!

Winter Break

We had a fabulous winter break! We enjoyed having Bart here for 2 weeks. Amazing! We kept busy (Temple lights, botanical gardens, trampoline playland, bowling, ice skating, parks, museums, building gingerbread houses), but also had some downtime to just enjoying being together as a family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
