The New Year rolled in with single digit temps and a little ice. We had a slight skiff of snow, I am not going to count it as the first snow, however we were expected to get a few inches. Monday and Tuesday were up to 30 and the last two days have had wind chills around -20 to -25. I have decided I am not cut out for Iowa cold anymore. I get chilled to the bone and feel cold all the time. It never used to bother me as much, I blame it on my thyroid. I need to winter in a warmer climate.
This year Levi had his Golden birthday, turning 5 on the 5th. Wade cooked a Mexican enchilada bake, he is an excellent cook. Levi's party was dinosaur themed. Carina likes to go all out with balloons and decorations. She even had a piñata. Levi opened his presents with so much enthusiasm and excitement. He is funny and super happy. He got to blow out a sparkler candle, which he wasnt quite sure of. He is such a happy little go with lots of joy and energy. Sometimes he will run at me and give me big hugs, other times he can be shy. Today I got a big hug. He adores Jake and Luke and keeps tabs on where they are and what they are doing. In the basement, Jake impressed everyone with his rapping skills we didn't know he had, on the karoake machine. He did a rap of "two more tacos por favor" followed by a rap about shifting gears in the Peterbilt. He had everyone laughing. It was a fun evening we all enjoyed. It is always fun to have birthday celebrations for the young kiddos. Our kids are all grown up and past the party age.
