The birthday celebrations started with a party on Saturday. 8 kids including mine, came over for some party adventure including painting a wooden suitcase, pirate visiting and obstacle course, pizza making and cake eating.

School was cancelled again for Julia’s birthday due to a snowstorm. Julia was bummed at first as she was looking forward to pajama day at school. It was rather pretty outside though and even though we were mostly housebound I think Miss Julia had a fun day.

We braved the elements and took our broken sled over to the park for some fun. The coffee shop was next for some lunch and birthday treats. On our way home we ran into our neighbors headed down the road to sled the “big hill”. It was super fun. Much steeper than the park and our broken sled kept it from going too fast, so perfect for the girls. After sledding we went back home to watch a movie, then waffles for dinner (Julia’s choice as the restaurant she picked out, and many others, was closed).
