The Bandongs: January 2011

A Priceless Smile

There are now words...................................................................

So as you can see we have Snow again this year. We live in an area that is not suppose to get snow (at least that is what I am always told...or at least we don't get very much very often! well every year that I have lived here, we have had snow...and lots of it that sticks around for days....so don't believe the locals when they tell you we don't get snow!)

Anyways..my kids love the snow and head out to play in it as soon as they can...some times it is very funny to see how desperate they are to play in the snow. We will barely have a couple of cm's of snow on the ground and they are out there trying to build snowmen and toboggan hills....

the one thing that the kids hate about the snow is shoveling the driveway. We have a very steep driveway that when we get a little snow we need to shovel and salt right away or we can not get out of the driveway...oh and it's long too so it takes about 2 hours to clean off and salt....so it is not fun at all.....unless you are Macie, who plays while the other two work.

Macie's birthday

Macie was very luck this year. she was able to celebrate her birthday twice with friends. 1st was on Sunday when the Ochoas came to town and Lola and Tita were over. We had nice dinner and then a great cake that Addie made and decorated. Then Macie opened her presents. She was super excited!

Macie and Eva trying to get to the cake before everyone else...those two like to get into mischief together!

Then during the week she was able to have another little party with some friends so she got a second cake (cupcakes actually) and was able to party some more.
