This is Cole at his birthday party. He wanted a sliding/skating/snowmobiling party. Basically outdoors. His birthday is at the end of January, which can make outdoor activities iffy. But even though we woke up that morning to -35 with the windchill, it got up to a balmy -7, and the wind calmed down. We did a cookout - hot dogs and hot chocolate. He was happy.

This is his cake. I made it. I was so pleased with myself. It took two hours to decorate. While Daddy was outside (til 11:30pm) flooding the skating surface in -20 plus windchill weather. We both still smile about it.

This is a snowmobile full of party-goers. That would be EIGHT children and Greg on for the ride.

The very happy birthday boy.
