Snow Boots

Today was Campbell's first day back at Preschool after Christmas vacation. It was also the day set to celebrate her birthday at school. This required snack, drink, and photos of Miss Campbell through the years. We stopped at the grocery store on the way to school. She was proudly showing off her new snow boots!! Thank goodness Uncle Jeremy & Aunt Beth bought those for her birthday. They have certainly been put to use.

Snow Day Pics

Snow! Winter is here and the Lohman household is excited. Cooper had her first Snow Day from school today. The snow actually started on Sunday night and it snowed all night long. We woke up to a Winter Wonderland. Once I got the girls all bundled up we set out to play outside. Campbell LOVES the snow. Right away it was snow angels, trying to make a snowman, and sledding down the street. It was great fun. Even better was coming inside for hot chocolate!

Sleeping in a Fort

Today was our First Snow Day from school and the girls and I enjoyed watching the snowflakes fall. We went outside to play in the snow as well. Later in the day the girls made a "fort" and kept it up for Daddy to see. Then they sweet talked him into letting them sleep in the fort that night. It was too cute NOT to take a few pictures.

Family Birthday Lunch

Birthdays aren't complete without a family lunch. So we invited family over to continue the birthday celebration. Campbell was having a bit of trouble trying to figure out just when she was going to be 4 or when her birthday activities were going to be over. The fun just seemed to continue for days. It was a low key and quiet party. Nonetheless, Campbell enjoyed the company, attention, and gifts.

Time to blow out candles. Happy Birthday!!

Gymnastics Birthday with Friends

On a cold and snowy Friday afternoon Campbell and her preschool classmates got together at Gymnastics for some birthday fun. The Coach was great and kept all the kids active and entertained. We wrapped up the party with cupcakes, juice, and gifts. It was a special celebration for Campbell since her birthday is so close to Christmas and Chad's birthday we try to recognize her birthday as much as we do for Cooper. I think she had a great party!

Happy 4th Birthday Campbell!

Our baby girl turned 4 years old today. It's beyond conceivable how fast these years have gone by. She has gone from baby to toddler to preschooler overnight it seems. She loves us all dearly and follows her big sister around proudly. She is strong, brave, curious, stubborn, sassy, independent, and so different from her older sister. But just as we did for Cooper, we went as a family to the T-Rex Cafe to celebrate Campbell's 4th birthday. She was such a doll and we all had a great time.
