The girls and I had a tea party yesterday afternoon.  The cupcakes you see here are Magic Wish Cupcakes.  You can make a wish, and blow out the candle, and your wish will come true.  Lara said, "Our guest (meaning me) should go first to take a cupcake, because she has the most problems."  I laughed and said, "What problems do I have?"  And Lara said, "You know, all the work you have to do around the house." 

The weather was nice yesterday, so we went out to play.  It is bare and gray here, so instead of bringing me the usual multitude of picked wild flowers, they brought me these as above gifts instead.

Lara has a new pen pal!

Claire was giving me a run for my money this morning, so I stuck her in a box.

 We are hunkering down in the midst of winter storm.  Lara and I did some shopping this afternoon after church, but called it quits when the snow started up.  A 30 minute drive home can turn into something much longer when the snow starts.  It's beautiful though...stay warm.
