Arya turns 8

 Our sweet little lady turned 8 yesterday.

I think this year she has grown more than any other year.

She still loves all the same things, although I think drawing has topped Barbies this year.  

Cooking has become her newest obsession.  She helps me make dinner almost every night and bakes any chance she gets.  She got a cookbook for Christmas and has been really enjoying making recipes all on her own.  She can even whip you up some tacos if you ask.

She asks me almost every hour of being home if there's anything she can help with.  We hear I love you 50 times a day and she really just is the sweetest.



Her birthday theme request was puppy. She requested meatloaf, coleslaw, and blue box mac n cheese for her birthday dinner.  We offered her choice of literally anything she could want and that was her choice.  And neither of my kids love cake so her choice was brownie sundaes for dessert.  She had school until 430 so I failed at getting many pictures.

January

 I think this might accurately describe our month.


The day before Caleb's birthday he, unfortunately, broke his hand at work.  It's hard for me to even try to imagine what it's like to be a police officer, especially lately and i'm so thankful that he wasn't injured even worse. 




And we also got our first significant snow in over 2 years.  Our significant is about 4 inches.  The kids got a four day weekend because of it and literally got out of bed and into their snow stuff.
