Birch Farm

...and you thought there would be pictures of animals! You were right; albeit these kids are WAY too cute!! My good friends Abby and Jo introduced us to an enormous indoor playground = absolute winter retreat for the kiddos. Fluff, Gracie, and Rory "pee-po-ed" {peek-a-boo-ed} the morning away, while Spence couldn't bounce enough on that castle. The best part: Adults can sit and enjoy a good cuppa' {chocolate for me} "whilst" watching their kids play! Definitely needs a revisit soon! Thank you, Ladies.

love. sweetness.

Sweet {and I mean some of the sweetest in the world} Andrew and Kristi invited us over to theirs for sugar cookie decorating. Kristi's eye behind the camera perfectly captured Elsie and her concentration to create the loveliest {and most artery-bursting} cookie.

We all enjoyed the sweetness...thank you Andrew, for graciously entertaining Spencer so we could stuff ourselves with sugar, frosting, and more sugar. :)

Isn't Valentine's Day about indulging in and sharing everything sweet and delicious? Well, thanks to four helping hands {elsie wanted to show the "special" sprinkles on top; and don't worry, we iced the cupcakes before the beaters were licked clean}, we "secretly" left cupcakes for the loves in our lives.

We are so excited about this new year and thank you Snow, for making it so fresh!

From Post Cards 2012

It has only snowed a few times since we've lived here in England.

We gladly welcome the novelty!

Made us feel even more at home {thank you dear Halls for the "sledge." :)}

As a good dad does, he teaches his son that good snow fun...

....starts with a snowball. :) Spence and his beanie-patched eye sums up his perspective of the afternoon {although he did like tasting and riding in the snow}.

Thank you, Snow, for sharing a fresh new everything. x

Sunday School

From Post Cards 2012

Because church was cancelled with the snow and "slickery" roads, Elsie decided to teach us the lesson.
