Our week started off by celebrating Shane's 6th birthday. He had been counting down the days for quite some time and was super excited when the day arrived that he was turning 6. His request for a cake was simple: chocolate cake with rainbow icing. It kind of surprised me that my little guy wanted something that didn't have monster trucks, football or dinosaurs but rainbow icing it was! His eyes sparkled from all the attention.
We actually did his cake on Saturday since we had life group on Monday evening.
That is why he was still wearing his eagles jersey with pride although he has been wearing his McNabb jersey all week. He didn't care that they didn't show up until the second half of the game on Sunday. He is a loyal fan not swayed by their performance or lack thereof!
The boys spend a lot of time this week outside on a big snow bank that Mark made when plowing the driveway. He pushed extra snow from the front of our house to the back onto this huge pile. The boys got shovels and started making a fort which to their dismay has melted a lot in the past two days. They have holes, beginnings of tunnels and made a lot of memories this week.
We had two really nice and slightly warmer days in a row so one of those days I bundled the two little ones up and out we went. Judah and Shane had built big snowmen in the backyard so we went to investigate. Tristan wasn't liking how it felt trudging through the snow so we improvised by pulling them in the sled.
They liked it so much I ended up dragging them around the yard for probably 30 minutes. Every time I wanted to stop they would start giggling and I would have to make another lap. They haven't been outside in so long because of how cold it has been. Please just ignore the pink hat on Tristan's head. He insisted upon wearing a pink hat even though I had a nice boyish hat picked out for him. I have the sweetest close up shot of his beautiful blue eyes peeking out from underneath the hat but am afraid to post it due to his horror when he gets a few years older.
You have to admit, it takes a confident man to pull off pink and I think he is doing marvelous in his pink debut. I finally convinced the two younger ones to go back inside after being outside for an hour. It was a nice reminder for me of how nice it is to be able to go outside. Everyone feels better after getting fresh air and it made me anticipate spring!
I had to throw in a picture of Eden's new fun thing. She likes wearing this hat but likes it backwards so it doesn't fall into her eyes. You just have to excuse the bedhead hair that hadn't been tamed yet.

Adorable! It's good to have little ones to get us adults out in the snow to play!
i love the pink hat. i agree that only confident men can pull off pink, so hopefully he won't be appalled by seeing himself wearing it, but proud!
