Claire saved up her birthday money (and we chipped in with some of our Visa rewards points) and got a new bike! This is her first real big girl bike, she graduated from using her beloved balance bike. She has been riding her balance bike since she was 3 and it helped immensely. She was pedaling and riding her bike like a pro after about 30 minutes of practice. She was beaming and all smiles the rest of the day. I love seeing her learn and accomplish new things, it's such a rewarding thing to observe as a parent!
We celebrated St. Patrick's Day with our traditional green pancakes and Lucky Charms cereal (pretty much the only time I buy it). Peter was a little unsure of the pancakes at first but he came around and tried them eventually!
I snapped a few pictures of Claire, Peter, and Rory after church on a Sunday. I mean try to look at these and not smile. They are the cutest.
We went to Disney on Ice last Saturday. The last time we went Claire was barely 3 and Peter was not even quite 1 year old yet. The kids had a blast. It made me really excited to take them to Disneyland next year. We are thinking we'll go around Peter's 4th birthday in hopes that he'll be tall enough to go on most of the rides by then. Until then, Disney on Ice is a good substitute. :)
Rory girl turned 6 years old on Feb 28th! We made her a dog cake and sang Happy Birthday to her and gave her a few new dog toys. We love our fur baby, she is the best.
