Catch Up

It has been a long, long winter.  The bonus is that Trent has been able to work from home on all the snow days.  It is wonderful to have him around.  We did not get out much this winter.  Mandy dislikes the cold and there is not too much going on.  However, Christmas was another story. It started out by going to the capital tree lighting.  We have a friend that works for the Architect of the Capitol as an Arborist. He helped put up the tree and got us some fancy tickets to be right up next to the tree.  Graham was dressed warmly as a polar bear. He was adorable!  He almost stole the whole show.  Christmas eve was spent friends and Graham got to be Joseph as we told the Christmas story. Christmas was a fun day full of presents, talking with family, and dinner with friends.

Graham's favorite present from Santa - a baby piano

Graham's hair was growing so fast and was in his eyes so Mandy found a clever solution.  The pictures below show the solution. Trent did not like this so it led him to cut his hair.

Valentine's day started out with Graham getting dressed up with his heart patch pants.  Trent made a clue Valentine's game for Mandy that included names of board games we own.  Yes, we are that dorky.

For Mandy's birthday we went to a Mardi Gras celebration.  We roasted marshmallows for smores and ate gumbo at a cafe with live jazz.  Graham loved the gumbo and swayed to the music.  He is so hip.
