Corbin Turns 6

Corbins Birthday was so much fun to celebrate. He is getting to be such a big boy, great big/little brother, awesome helper.
We decorated in an all boy theme this year. Batman cake, spiderman, ironman and starwars plates, and a transformer tablecloth and banner. Alyssa mentioned that it wouldn't match, but the rest of us thought it would be way awesome!

Corbins Birthday part II

Gingerbread House Tradition

Every year around this time we make Gingerbread Houses with the kids. This year we invited some friends to join in the fun with us too. We paired off into partners and started the fun. Its fun to see the houses, tee pees, pyramids, dog house, sleds that we all create each year. One of the good things of course is to sneek some candy between your building skills.

Alyssa's Country Report

In Alyssa's class she had to pick a country to report on to her class. She picked to study Panama. I was her picture girl/assistant. She did such a great job and was so excited the whole time to study for her report. We are very proud of her getting in front of her class and talking and reading about her report. (she doesn't like to be in spotlight).
My cool scarf was due to the very cold temperature in her classroom. I didn't bring a jacket thinking it would be warm in the class, but no. So I raided Alyssa's backpack for something to wear to keep warm!

A Fun Snow Day

One morning we woke up to snow everywhere (no surprise there). This time the snow was mostly ice and very dry so it was like our cul-du-sac was a giant ice rink. We got the neighborhood kids out and they were pulling each on their sleds. It was a very fun morning.

Snow....

Corbin has gotten so big this past year inside and out. He has loved going out with Brad in the mornings to shovel the driveway and sidewalks after a storm. Its good to have another great helper around the house, Although I love to shovel snow too so I am out there with them too.
