Birthdays Galore!

 1-6 is the 12th day of Christmas and has become such an amazing holiday for our family - not only is it the Epiphany but it is also JZ's birthday! This Jan 6 2021 was one that not many people will forget - the day of the Capitol Riots. Jeeze Louise ... who would have thought? Our dry January broke that day and we haven't looked back since. A celebration was in need. Happy Birthday JZ.



Almost a month later - Victoria turned 12! Yup - this horse riding, tennis playing, "dance mom", volleyball loving girl turned 12 on Groundhogs Day!


We went to dinner out of our comfort zone with the kids. It wasn't the country club, Mi Cocina, or Starbucks so this was a streeeetch. 












Victoria had a joint birthday with her friend Claire. They had a sleepover and a murder mystery dinner party. It was so fun to see them get into character and costume and really play their parts. They ended up going to TP 4 boys houses - something they really wanted to do!

























Rebecca had an Among Us birthday party. She had about 13 friends over to play a real live version of the game - drawing who would be a crew member and who would be the imposter doing tasks and activities. After the week of snowmageddon it was wonderful to get the girls together and play outside!

Sister's art projects on a Saturday Morning. They are currently hanging in the play room. LOVE these! And they have lots of color - just like their artists.

George Washington's battle flag - We are not hanging the United States flag outside ike we have always done. Sadly we are not united at this time in our history. So we will fly the GW flag ...
