James loved waking up on his 4th birthday to a room full of balloons!!
He was also really excited to open his presents.
Then we rolled in his main present – a new bike! He loved it!
James’s birthday was on a Sunday this year. After church the Lee’s came over to help celebrate. Cake time!
Oh how we love this little boy of ours! He is such a joy to our family. Can’t believe he is already 4 years old!
Dan was really excited that our new house is only 15 minutes up to Mt. Rose. He and the girls bought season passes this winter, and definitely had some great ski days together! The girls love it, and are getting pretty good! Their favorite run this year at Mt. Rose is Around the World.
I love these babies and I really love when they are together! They haven’t seen each other since Christmas and they seemed to be a lot more aware of each other this time. It’s so fun!
John and Kristen came for the weekend to take their little boys sledding. We went to Tahoe Meadows just right off Mt. Rose Highway. It’s a decent sledding hill. The kids sure had fun! This first picture is the only group shot I got, and it’s with my smudged iPhone. The others are all GoPro shots.
It was so nice out, that after sledding for a few hours, we decided to head down to the lake. So we stripped off our snow clothes and played the rest of the day at the beach!
We explored down to the south shore and ended up at Zephyr Cove. It was nice and empty, for a winter’s day. Haha. We’ve heard it can get pretty crazy there in the summer.
We ended the day back in Reno at our favorite Thai food restaurant, Bangkok Cuisine. Yum!
Leah really wanted a Frozen party for her birthday this year. (Yes, my girls are obsessed with the movie Frozen, just like every other little girl in the country!) My friend, Stefanie Bellows, had just thrown her daughter, Ashby, a Frozen party, and she was so nice to let me borrow the decorations she had made! Everything was so cute, and Leah was just thrilled.
We did a little musical walk with prizes. It was a hit.
Present time!
Then we ate snacks and cupcakes.
I found a recipe for Frozen jello ice cubes here.
Ashby taught the girls how to make these cute little Frozen bracelets for craft time.
Well, I think we were successful in making Leah feel special, which is really what birthdays are all about!
