This Saturday we hosted our monthly Family Gathering. Our celebrants for March are Cory, GG, Kaelyn (from afar), and Ellie. We missed celebrating Josi and Livie in Feb (they were traveling) so we had them join the singing crew. We had a Taco bar, Ice Cream Cake and Earthquake cake.

| Ellie and Josi are both 2 now! AND LIV is a teenager. |
It is joyful chaos during these winter gatherings. I begin to wonder if maybe we'll be able to be outside the next time we are together....There is still a lot of snow out there. Michael is predicting the traditional Easter Snowstorm.

| GG turned 85 on the 15th. |

| Melia, Jojo, Gideon, Benny, Annie, Bella & Livie |
Michael and Melia carried out my vision to cover the tables in newsprint. I misplaced the tablecloths in the great organizational remake of Dec. The newsprint was a hit! I'll probably continue to do it. What it lacked in prettiness it made up for in creativity. Maybe I'll make some word hunts next month. LOL
Yeah, we probably won't be playing outside next month....Pregnant moose keeps visiting.

What a blessing it is to watch these "little ones" grow. I mean it's fun to watch Cory and Dad grow...but such changes we get to observe in the little ones. Each personality unique, all loved madly by Papa and Bachan.
The day took a dramatic turn with a couple of unexpected phone calls and texts, but not everything is fit to be shared online.
Note: Nolan, Stacia, Arielle, Michael and I were also present. Just missed the cameras. ::snort::
