Snow Angels

This past week, Asher had his first snow day of the year. The day was made even better because Daddy decided to work from home. When Orli saw the snow falling from the sky she pointed and said, "bubbles!" We thought that was just about the cutest thing ever and now every time I see the snow falling I think of her comment and can't stop smiling.

Is the storm happening inside or outside of the car? We are not sure! Asher was having a meltdown because school was let out early due to the impending storm. We sat in the car for over 15 minutes while he sobbed. Poor guy! POOR MOMMY and ORLI!!!

The snow day started with board games in our pjs.

Followed by baking in our Pjs.

Adding the sprinkles was the best part.

We also completed a lot of arts and crafts. Here is Asher showing the luminary we finished. 

Playing in the snow? We were supposed to get 10 inches we maybe got two.

still enough to make a snow angel and this was his first.

Party at the Please Touch

In our opinion, Asher's parties are always a little over the top--even for our taste.  This year was no exception and because we had so many guests invited we felt the need to get a big space.  We had it at the Please Touch Museum. His guests enjoyed admission to the museum, pizza and games and a carousel ride to top it off.  This was the first year that Asher knew more people than we did at the party. We had around 35 guests in attendance and we were so happy that both his Nana and Bubbe could attend. Even our good friends from New Mexico, Rachel and Theo attended the festivities.  The party was a hit and by the end we were thoroughly exhausted and happy.  

The Ladies Man-- Asher is living it up with the ladies. 

When did Birthday hats look this cute?

Pure Joy

Even Orli and Daddy rode the carousel. She loved it. 

We were so glad our friend Rachel and Theo (not pictured) were able to attend. 

Love this family shot. We are all on the steps of the Please Touch Museum at the end of the party.

Finally, Asher had a class party to round out turning 4--pictures below.

Birthday Boy!

We've decided that turning 4 is truly a magical experience and better than any birthday we have celebrated.  Our little Asher was blessed to have this special event on January 2nd. He started the day with his Bubbe and a balloon. What could be better? Next, we headed to IHOP for a special funny face pancake and then to the Natural History Museum to look at the animals.  We rounded out the afternoon by going to Five Guys which had to the best lunch EVER! Asher wore his crown and everyone told him "Happy Birthday" you could just feel how happy he was with all the attention. When people didn't greet him with a "Happy Birthday" he walked up to them to tell them it was his birthday.  One kind woman gave him a dollar and he had no idea what to do with it. When we walked out someone rolled down their window to wish him a Happy Birthday! Finally, we went home to rest and then had dinner at his favorite restaurant California Pizza Kitchen. We came home and opened presents, played and went to bed. It was truly a dreamy fun filled day!

Natural History Museum Fun!

So happy with the puppets.

Dinner and a brownie at CPK...what could be better?
