The Aluminum Show

Lauren and I had a Mommy-daughter date on Thursday. It was a very busy night because she had gymnastics and then we grabbed dinner before heading downtown to the Opera House to see the Aluminum Show. It is a dance group that uses aluminum in their routine along with lights and music. We had great seats in the front row of the balcony which meant Lauren could see everything. You technically were not supposed to take pictures, but I sneaked a few. She had a blast and even got to take home a piece of aluminum confetti that they shot off during the finale. She has been so excited to show everyone this and is planning on taking it in for show-and-tell at preschool.

Children's Museum

Last weekend we went to the Children's Museum for a friend's birthday party. I didn't take many pictures of the actual birthday party, but I did get some shots of the kids playing at the Museum. Lauren had been there a couple of times before, but this was Camden's first time. He kept saying "this is so much fun!" I'm sure we will be back.

More Winter Fun

It's finally warm enough to get back outside with the kids and play in the snow. That's just what we did today after Lauren got out of school. My dad has been helping us out and plowing our driveway on occasion to push the snow back. This has created some large snow hills for the kids to play on. They had a great time climbing up the hills and sliding/rolling down them.

Sunset

Just thought I would share a beautiful picture of the sunset the other night. It's a nice sign that spring is around the corner...
