Happy Birthday Anthony

 James is notorious for spoiling surprises.  All week he kept saying he wanted to give Dad Satr Wars Legos for his birthday.  Anthony thought he was getting actual building Legos and was quite happy to find out the Star Wars Legos he was getting was a Wii game.  Building Legos is not his thing.  James had asked him to fix his one of his Lego transformers Clara had made for him earlier in the week.  When James came back he said, "Dad is doesn't go like that".  At dinner he told the girls Dad fixed his robot to look like this and made a funny pose.

Lego Transformers

James has been into Transformers lately (watched a cartoon on TV at Grandma's house).  One day we made Lego transformers.  Clara built him Optimus Prime when she got home.

Snow Days

Our Winter wonderland.  The rain the night before made the snow stick to everything, even the barbed wire fence.Lea working on her snow fort.  It had snowmen sentinels guarding the entry.

Sledding

James has been anxiously waiting for snow.  We didn't have much but decided it was enough to go sledding.

 The sledding hill out back.  The kids were actually sad that Grandpa and Uncle Keith removed the tree they kept hitting last year.  James talked about "watch out for that tree" all year.
