We stayed the night with Melissa's family in February when the snow subsided. We actually had some very warm days...even at Camp Zarahemla, so we took advantage of the warm front and hit the road. We took birthday presents for all of the children except Nathan, because he had had his birthday recently. Miriam's birthday is actually in February, so we made a bigger deal over her gift. She was excited to receive a Hello Kitty book and purse. Miriam was so nice to let Emma pretend the purse was for her! They all wanted to model their birthday gifts! Andrew wanted to model his scout shirt with all of his patches, as well! Then it was Nathan's turn! He is an 11-year-old official scout now! Then the girls had to get in on the modeling...Eliza looked like a real ballerina with her toe pointed perfectly! Miriam had great form too!
On Valentines Day, Chuck spoiled me with flowers and surprise notes posted all over the house.
On long winter nights, Chuck peels apples and makes applesauce. The squirrels love the peels!
