Snowflakes

Today was my sweet Maggie's 7th birthday. It's been a fun, full day. We got together after church for a family b-day party, presents, and chocolate fountain extravaganza. (I'll post pics of her party in my next post - I still have Ellie & Josie party pics to post from earlier this fall.) But, I thought this part of our afternoon was so fun and cool that it deserves it's own post. :) We all got crafty and made snowflakes - tons of snowflakes. They turned out really great - it's so fun to cut such random shapes and be completely surprised to see what you get. And everybody got in on it - even Great Grandma T. and Uncle Eric. :) We sang Christmas songs as we cut...it was one of those deep, heart-warming family moments...one I don't think I'll ever forget. Funny how the simplest, most random times can be some of the most special.





Then the birthday girl judged them. Aunt Macy got 1st place. (See her blue ribbon?)

Thanks, guys, for an awesome afternoon. I love you!
