Anyhow, January 28th marked another year around the sun for our littlest man, Deklan. We celebrated with some cake and opened a few cards he received in the mail from relatives.
 |
| Listening - very carefully - to The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. It was especially interesting to see their reactions because the don't know the original version of the story! |
It was extremely cold the weekend of Deklan's birthday, so we decided to hold off a week before taking him on his birthday "adventure" - a trip to the ICE CASTLES! The following Sunday we loaded up the car and drove an hour north into the White Mountains...

The castles were interesting and the kids had a lot of fun roaming around, finding tunnels and going down ice slides. My unstable hip make things challenging since we were basically walking on 6" of snow and ice pellets. And, it became chilly quickly. A cookie break and some warm drinks helped. Bryon's always such a good sport and genuinely excited and willing to participate in activities with the boys, so that makes our family adventures twice as much fun.

| So excited! |
We tried to stick around as long as we could because once the sun goes down the castles are backlit with lights and sound/light shows ensue. We were able to hang on to see the very beginning of it, but headed out for dinner and a drive home shortly after the sun set.
Happiest of Birthdays to you, Deklan! I can't wait to see what's in store for you (and the adventures you take us on as well) throughout 2017!
