Our weather back in early December called for lots of inside activities as the snow fell, swirled, and piled up. One of the things Brian and the boys had a great time doing was building with K'nex. It seemed that if the boys requested something, Brian was able to build it - a helicopter, a fork lift.

We also celebrated Sam's 3rd birthday (the day before his actual birthday) with a party at a local business called "Jump Man Jump" which is basically a huge warehouse filled with inflatable jumpers. Sam's playgroup, the Lake Tahoe Little Twigs, is a pretty big group with several kids who have birthdays between early November and early December. So, being the wise moms we are, five of us opted to have a joint party for our kids for all the playgroup members. We all had a great time bouncing and then having lunch and birthday cake.
