Happy Birthday to Papa!

We celebrated Papa's birthday and Valentine's Day (and Lucy's birthday, too!)

Avery helped make all the goodies ahead of time with Mama and Aunt Erin.

There were crafts, cookie decorating and games to play!

Morgan worked on her bubble blowing skills!

We sang Happy Birthday to Papa (and Lucy!)

Papa got lots of nice gifts from everyone!

Then we made harmonicas out of popsicle sticks!

Harmonica concert

All the cuties together!

 

Here's Happy Birthday on the "harmonicas"!

Sparring

Morgan has been going to the upper level classes at karate in anticipation of getting her next belt. In these classes, they spar with full gear on. You really aren't supposed to make contact, but it's hard not to. She does pretty well!

Cookies are here!

The Girl Scout cookies are in! Yum!

Pottery class

The Brownies went to a pottery class and made bowls. Avery had fun decorating her clay and painting it. We will post the picture of the final product once we get it back. They were going to fire it in the oven.

Valentine Boxes

The girls had to make boxes for their valentine's to take to school.

Then, Morgan had to stack up all the washi tapes.

Karate barefoot challenge

With the big snow we had, they cancelled karate. But, they gave everyone a challenge to do at home! Do a karate form in the snow BAREFOOT!

Morgan first did it on the driveway after Matt had shoveled. Then, she saw other kids had done it in the snow, so she did it in the deep snow as well!

Snow day lunch fun

Decided to make some fun lunch today to celebrate having a day off of school!

We tried making heart shapes out of our crescent rolls.

It was moderately successful.

Then the girls added bananas, peanut butter and chocolate sauce!
