The Boone Family

We traveled down to Columbus to celebrate Addie's third birthday.  Danielle had rented out this recreation center within a local church and it was off the hook!  There was a party room with a huge play place like at McDonalds, a climbing wall, and a plastic climber for toddlers.  From the moment we walked in the kids were in heaven. Addie was wearing two princess dresses at this point of the party!   Uncle Edd plays with Landon…Don't mind Paw Paw in the background! Look at these two characters…they love being with us and all the kids! Quick photo of the family during the party…Addie was too busy socializing to take time to join them Cousin Chad! Love these snuggles! Lincoln was such a ham for the camera! Edd's brother, Steve, took part in the birthday craft of making a crown and wore it proudly! Our camera battery died after this so we didn't catch any photos of Addie blowing out the candles, licking frosting from the cake, ...

Now don't get me wrong, no one loves snow days as much as the kids but I am a very close second!  I am giddy when I get that phone call that lets me know I can shut the alarm clock off and cuddle with whoever has made their way into our bed that night.

The official day began with heart streamers hanging from the doorway, hearts scattered on the floor leading down the stairs to a table full of heart shaped pancakes. After breakfast, heart shaped scavenger hunt clues lead the boys through the house to find their sweet reward. Discovering the treasure at the end of the scavenger hunt Nolan was so happy with his treasure that he carried it around the house for quite some time! Our days are packed full of the hustle and bustle of reality but I hope that the boys know that no matter what happens we love them to the moon and back.
