We had quite a fun week! A nine year old now lives in the house.
It took Marlee and myself 9 years to learn that a bigger party doesn't always mean better. We decided to forgo inviting the usual 30+ kids over to the house and for 2 hours of free range fun, which usually resembles a wild college party.
We had a few mini celebrations around town and realized how much we appreciate quality over quantity.
And of course we hit our favorite restaurant for the big birthday dinner.
We also had a surprise visit from our favorite family from Portland. It was quite fun to spend a spontaneous afternoon with friends at the park. The weather was optimal and usual neighborhood antics resumed.
It was nice to be out and about; a little break in this long, cold winter. Speaking of, it'll be back to winter business as a winter storm is brewing. I foresee lots of days off from school, valentine crafting, and drinking (lots of) winter themed cocktails.
We will share our homemade valentine gifts in a few days.
Isn't this the cutest picture ever? :)
