Birthdays, snowmen, and cows

Saturday we had dinner at Mimi's to celebrate her and Rodney's birthdays. Maddy and Ryan had fun teaching baby dolls how to play piano, Camryn got to open an early present from Mimi, and we had cupcakes!

We also came home with a quarter of a cow!

Last night Maddy made a snowman with her little melting snowman kit and asked me to take multiple pictures of her with her snowman.

Today was a tough day. A dear friend of ours, longtime friend of Matt's, recently lost his 20 year old brother. The funeral was today. Matt and I both are exhausted. While the service was beautiful and the out pouring of love from the community was amazing it was so incredibly sad to see people you care about in so much pain. The thought of ever losing a sibling or child is unbearable. Today sure made us grateful for all we have and helps you to remember never to take anything or anyone for granted.

We spent this afternoon outside with the girls. Enjoying our sweet children and each other. Looks like Camryn has already inherited our love of coffee, she carried around the empty McDonald's cup for a good bit.

I think we are all tired tonight. We were playing when I turn around and Camryn is just laying on the floor. It was pretty cute!
