Brandon turns 6 -- Lego Party

It is hard to believe, but Brandon turned six on Saturday. On Friday night we had a big Lego party for him with 9 of his friends from school. Charlie and I picked-up the whole gang from school and then we enjoyed cake and ice cream, open gifts, played Lego bingo, busted a pinata and ate some pizza. It was a crazy but fun 2 hours! In the past 6 months Brandon has really developed a love for Legos. He loves all kinds of Legos --Space Police, City, Indiana Jones and of course Star Wars Legos.

Snow, snow - Let's go sledding!

Despite the very cold weather (temperatures in the single digits and below zero with the wind chill) Taylor, Brandon and I braved the cold for some winter fun - sledding on a hill near our house. Both the kids had a great time and loved it. One would ride on the sled and the other would roll down or slide on there stomach. I think the cold weather bothered me more than them.
