Sorry for the lack of depth these days. Hope the abundance of photos will suffice :) I know that’s what you’re really here for anyway.

I know I posted some of these pics already, but here are more. I’m excited about piping. It takes awhile to do though, especially since I rarely have solid blocks of time… and when I do there is usually something more important to be doing than decorating cookies. Anyway, I’m having fun with these hearts.

Let's bake!

Piped hearts

First piping, then flooding. Then eating!

The whole Johnson family was here this weekend. Grampy Don taught Eve how to waltz.

Lex had a busy weekend winning games and writing love notes.

Today was sunny and in the high 30’s! Crazy. A few days ago I froze cranberry juice ice cubes and today we went on a “juice cube hunt.” The snow was SOOO deep I had trouble making it around the house to “hide” the cubes. The kids did a great job finding them though and the game kept them entertained while I shoveled the driveway. We were going to play again, but they decided to eat the juice cubes instead.

Off they go on their "juice cube hunt"

Got snow?

Lex put his little bucket up in the tree. I want to leave it there and see if a bird moves in this summer. It would also be a fun reminder of how deep the snow gets :)

This afternoon we went to a birthday party at the indoor playground. The party was for Eve’s classmate so her and I joined them while Lex and Alan played on their own.

Running with the girls.

Candy, candy, candy!

Alan showed off his upper body strength by zipping right up this rope!

We had fun at the party until the very end when Lex decided to protest, very loudly, our departure. It was rough, but the evening ended calmly. Alan and I are now “watching” the Super Bowl (with laptops close at hand).  Happy weekend.  Tomorrow it all begins again.
