Snow Baby Smunchie

Noon Year's Day

 It's 2014!  We decided to ring in the new year the kid friendly way- in the middle of the day!  We had a "Happy Noon Year" party on New Year's day with some friends.  The kids made new year's shakers (out of paper plates and rice), had lunch and then had a balloon drop.  The kids had a great time and we ended up doing the balloon drop many, many more times.

Zoo Visit

 Last weekend, we took a family trip to the local zoo, thanks to a generous gift of a year zoo pass from Great Uncle Pooh.  The kids were so excited to see the animals and it was so lovely, since Greg was able to go with us.  This was also special, since this is the first time that Smunchie actually noticed and interacted with the animals.

Thank you Great Uncle Pooh!
