WINTERFEST IN OLD TOWN MANASSAS

Speaking of birthdays...Congratulations to our cousins Jessica & Benjamin. Their baby boy was born January 19th. Although a little early (8 weeks) and weighing in at 2 lbs, 15 oz - he is thriving. Welcome Benjamin Thomas!

Chloe's storybook themed party was a hit and she was the star princess with lots of squealing and laughs.
Birthday girl!

Not walking yet, but quite the daredevil. Next - Mount Everest.

We made the cold journey up north to New York. Even Grannie and Grandpa traveled from Texas.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, CHLOE ELIZABETH!

The kids loved catching bubbles.

All four loved every minute - from the stinky loud mouth, to the scary cave tour, to dress up on the stage.

Goodbye hugs.

As usual - doing a little blogging catch up. We had a great day in Richmond with the Driskells at the Children's Museum.

Kennedy is watching Grannie and Sam very closely. Hope she doesn't get the horse bug too early!

Look who's swimming with the rays!

More aquarium fun

I think this grouper could gulp up Kaden in one bite

Or maybe Kennedy is the next marine biologist.

Her squeals reverberated throughout the aquarium.
