BIRTHDAY PARTY, VALENTINES, LAST SNOW?? & CHINESE NEW YEAR

Annie is now three years old. It is so hard to believe that she is three already. She has been waiting for her birthday since Jack turned 3 in September. She was constantly asking people if they wanted to come to her birthday in February(berfday in Febway). She is very proud that she is 3 just like Jack. She wanted a pink birthday but also tractors. So, she had a pink tractor on her cake. Her t-shirt said, "Will Trade Brother for Tractor!" She had two birthday parties. One with family and one with friends and family. Well, Jack had two parties and Annie did not forget!!
It was very cute Annie sang Happy Birthday to herself. Notice the pink John Deere tractor on her cake. Jack's t-shirt said, "I am BIG on the FARM!"

Jack spent the entire birthday party in the sand box with his tractors. He didn't even want to take time to eat. He wanted Grandpa Bob to play, too!

Briko and "Jenny" (as Annie calls Special, now) show off the umbrella that Cousin Curtis and Luke sent Annie. It is the coolest umbrella with pictures of Curtis, Luke, Aunt JJ and Uncle Kyle.

Gigi and Aunt Bee enjoyed watching all of the kids at the party.

Uncle Bill wrapped up things from his kitchen for Annie. She loved it! Good job, Uncle Bill getting rid of your junk!!!!

Annie's family party on her actual birthday, February 10th. She wanted pink cupcakes and ice cream sandwiches.

YUM!!!

Cousin Maggie got a new Golden Retriever puppy, Grady. Jack and Annie loved him. I think we need a new puppy. Fletcher needs a friend. Daddy says, "NO!!!"

Mimi and Papa brought Jack a tractor.
Well, the party wasn't over yet. The next day was Valentine's Day. We had a treasure hunt to find our Valentines.

Jack got a Case tractor and graders.

Annie got BandAides. She loves them!

Jack and Annie share a smoothie:) Just thought this picture was cute!

AND. . . Annie's birthday wasn't over yet. We went to Carla's for pancakes after church. She made Annie flip flop pancakes and put a candle in it. Everyone sang Happy Birthday, again. Jack had a concrete crusher pancake.

Daddy doesn't like it when we touch and love his hunting dog, but how can we resist!

Jack stacks ice balls in his dump truck.

Not to be outdone, Annie stacks ice balls in her dump truck.













Annie and Jack went sled riding down the horse field. It was perfect for them because they could walk back up themselves. However getting the sled up was a bit of a problem. Well, not for Jack he just made Annie carry it.






Then out of the blue and on their own they started working together. It was amazing to see! :)

We had a Chinese New Year party. Annie poses with Mrs. Ma. Last year she wouldn't let Mrs. Ma hold her and this year she was all smiles. She has come a long way!

Taking the group picture was a challenge:)


All partied out!
