February events

Well, we're battling another round of illnesses (colds & another ear infection), but here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks.  We had Maggie's 4th birthday party earlier in the month, and we decided to have it at a local park / playground to keep our house from getting destroyed by a bunch of 3 and 4 year old's.  :-) 

I know this doesn't look very appetizing in this picture, but Maggie picked light purple frosting and tons of random sprinkles for her cake...she also was insistent that her cake say "Maggie's Happy Birthday Cake"

We had a little bit of snow last weekend...not really enough to stick for very long, but just enough for the girls to enjoy.
