Happy Birthday, little one!

Here's Elena with some of her presents and her cake.

She enjoyed her special day! :)

This is the scene that met me when I walked back into the house after changing a light bulb in the garage:

The kitchen table, while strew with homework, was surprisingly empty--no kids.

Apparently, the first of Tanners two loose upper teeth had just "fallen out" while he and Alia were giving each other spelling tests. Alia, who has some experience in these matters, deemed the second tooth"ready".

They were working on getting the second tooth out when Martin arrived home. The second tooth did indeed come out ...and there was much exuberance and rejoicing!

:)

Are we ready yet? It snowed this week and we took some time on Saturday to go sledding. We took this one photo at home before we went, and the smiles stayed big like this all afternoon!

Tanner loved our friend's dish sled....he would go down spinning!

Elena took turns going downhill with Mom & Dad, as did Alia. But Alia also went by herself and with a friend.

A good time was had by all!
Happy Sledding!

You should have heard the laughter as Dad made his way through Elena's tunnel tonight! He even "wore" it to call Tanner out of the tub....and the laughter continued!

Just thought you might like to share our crazy moment! :)
