Since we got a (very) little snow on Sunday, the kids enjoyed it as much as possible that afternoon. The rink got some use too; even though it was pretty windy, it didn’t seem to bother the kids any.

Yesterday we did something unusual – we took a day off school on a holiday. It was President’s Day, and after Ben & I did some chasing in Pekin, we came home to do a little music before some special guests came for lunch.
Can you tell that Princess is a favorite around here?!
Josh had such a fun time with Abe and Charlie, and I think Abe & Charlie had a good time too! Abe & Charlie’s grandma is my first cousin, which makes them my first cousins twice removed. Which means they are second cousins once removed to Josh.
Abe & Charlie’s baby brother Theo, and their second cousins Maria (back), Eva, and Hanna.
AB - great-grandma to all these little tykes as well as the newest model, David Edward. Who by the way is absolutely precious. As they all are, but, well, this new little guy with his coos and smiling and talking . . . well he was never lacking attention that’s for sure!
Lots of fun inside,
and then the troops all headed outside for awhile. I didn’t get pictures, but Abe & Maria did great on ice skates for the first time; and the two young moms did great too (although I wonder if they’re maybe sore today…).
After skating was done, no one was ready to come in -
- so they got to help with chores!
Kids were out for a long time – and it was cold! (or maybe it just seemed colder because the sun never came out?)
I always have to smile at kids’ smiles on a horse.
Especially this one – Eva is only two and she thought she had the world by the tail. So cute!
That’s it! Enjoy the rest of this beautiful week!
