The birthday celebrations have continued for another week!  We had a couple more celebrations of Matt and all his awesomeness, and then we moved on to celebrating our nephew Elliot's 18th birthday on the weekend.  After all the rich food and late nights, I think it's a good thing that the celebrations are winding down, but it sure has been fun, and it's hard to believe we're halfway through February already.

Evie and Grandma made this beautiful Black Forrest Cake!

My mom and I were accidentally twinning

Paula and Matt nailed the twinning, too!

The party crew!

It has continued to be a tough winter without much snow, but we have been taking Frankie out and trying to make the most of it!

I love this view from behind our neighborhood

Showshoe or slush-shoe?

Noah was very proud to help Frankie get all cozy with a pillow and blanket after her exercise

This is the final week of Noah's basketball season, and we're sad to see it come to an end!  It has really been a fun season with so much growth.  He is excited to be able to start shooting hoops outside as soon as it gets warm.  We went on a family walk (2 miles) on Sunday, and he dribbled his basketball the entire way!

Trying to play some outdoor basketball, but it's still a little icy!

Lots of great memories in the ADL gym!

In between birthday celebrations, we've had a few moments of down time!

Fun with Keva blocks

Evie has a new haircut - with bangs for the first time ever!  She's looking so grown up!

We ended the weekend with an at-home Super Bowl feast!  After such a busy week of birthday festivities, it felt great to relax at home with just the 4 of us.  It was a great game, great food, and Evie made some delicious football whoopie pies for dessert!

Awesome job, Evie!

Yum!

Here's the junk food to pair with the healthy veggies, ha ha!
