Long time... and Hannah's birthday

WOW. I can hardly believe that I haven't posted since January 19th! Sorry, for the faithful few who actually read this! :-)

This past Saturday was Hannah's birthday party - her first SLEEPOVER birthday party! Wow. THAT was an experience! Oh, it sure was fun, but exhausting. She had 5 girlfriends over and they had a ball. Pizza, popcorn, facials, nail polish, hair-dos, movies, and a very sleepy mumma who finally made them all lay down "PLEASE" at about 3 am. Sorry - all you mamas who had very sleepy and/or grumpy girls yesterday! It was well worth it on our end.

All the complaining I did about the weather back in January - then we got a cold snap. It had been WAY down there... single digits for a few days which is pretty unusual around here. Snow has been a teaser - and inch here, an inch there - barely enough to sled in. They're calling for quite a few inches (8 or so) tomorrow... but I'll believe it when I see it!

We did enjoy some artificial snow by going to the mountain and snow tubing two Thursdays in a row! Even Yeva joined in... but only on the kiddy slope! Hannah wasn't so sure about it. Mumma (as she's taken to calling me lately) had to ride down with her the first week - good thing our friends were there to help watch the babies! She opted out of tubing at all the second week and just sat and sipped hot cocoa with me in the lodge.

More later...
