Snow & SuperBowl

Well, February is off to a stellar start. Rich stayed home on Saturday and helped me get some house stuff done. We finally got our closet cleaned out and turned into a little nursery. The kids did their chores and frolicked in the fresh snow, and we went to a matinee of "The Book Thief", a movie I've been waiting to see since November (it was great, but of course the book is even better).

Snowbaby!

Snow Angel!
 
On Sunday evening, we had some friends over to watch the Super Bowl even though we are not real football fans. We had some delicious food (especially yummy on Fast Sunday!) and good visits, and the kids had a blast together. Most of our guests were rooting for the Seahawks whom we believed to be the underdogs...
The most popular game of the night was sliding down the stairs on bean bag chairs and/or jumping down the stairs on to bean bag chairs. (here are Brody and James sliding down toward Gavin).

Niles liked spinning in the office chair while Dad and our friend Mike watched the game.

In the playroom we had a special screening of "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2."
Here is Ava holding up Matty with a Nerf gun.

Izzi and Addie took some quiet time in Ad's room to play "Would You Rather."
(PS: Izzi is going to play Young Eponine in the Shane Center's Les Miserables in March!)

I am grateful to be feeling better and to have time and space to catch up with good friends. We are so very blessed in so many ways, and tonight I felt that deeply. We also felt deep sympathy for all the Broncos fans out there. Dang.
