Gramma, the Zoo, a Birthday = Lots O' fun

I had such a great birthday this year. My fun family spoiled me with breakfast in bed. Which entailed heart shaped waffle, fruit bowl, turkey bacon and an omelet. Delicious - good job big daddy! Bergen had made a fun treasure hunt to find my presents and they had decorated very creatively with balloons and toilet paper (2 rolls to be exact)!!!

We had a relaxing day and then drove to Gramma Jan and Grandpa Paul's house for a fun birthday dinner. It was fun to be able to drive there have a great time and drive home. That hasn't happen for many years, because we haven't lived close enough.

We have had a couple of lovely snow storms to play in and enjoy.

Ava and Bergen were able to touch the slithery snake

The coolest ORANGE tiger you ever saw

Gramma Jorgen came to town for a whole week. We had so much fun playing, unpack, hanging pictures and organizing stuff. Aaron and I even got a 24 hour vacation, while the kids were in good hands. That hasn't happened in a long time. I could get use to sleeping in and not doing dishes or cleaning!! We had such great weather the first couple of days we hit the zoo. Ava really wanted to see the pink flamingos and Bergen wanted to see a Tiger. We were successful in seeing both of them.
