Technically, this month we celebrate GG, Cory, Kaelyn and Ellie. We didn't meet in January or February. Michael and I caught up with most everyone, but they needed to be sung too and to move to the front of the dessert line...so we added in Annie, Nolan, Jamin, Liv, Josi and Alex. Kaelyn doesn't enjoy being the center of the attention and isn't in the photo. I have a ton of Ellie photos and will post them separately. LOL

We had thought we may be outside today - but not quite yet. Luke and the kids made use the snow for a snowball fight.
The new kids gate is installed and working.
Sure enough - I was out of ice. These three volunteered and we discovered Bushes Bunches has ice.

We added the element of a group game to our gatherings in November. This month I tried to stay with a green Saint Patrick's Day theme....I was shocked how little I could find locally. It was still fun. The idea is for this to be something everyone can enjoy and for it to be totally random. This month I simply put the cups on a table, and everyone picked one. We started with the youngest and worked to the oldest. There were hot wheel cars, t-shirts, breath mints, a pot of gold, gift cards and cash in the cups.

Michael had captured a great photo which led to a meme competition. I need to have him write about the captions and the winners. I'm fuzzy on the details.
This was the first family gathering where we began to FEEL how close some upcoming moves are getting. Let's not think about it yet! We missed JaRissa. Jared is in the throes of another campaign.
