Although most of my birthday plans were rearranged due to the snow I am so very thankful my sister made the crazy drive to Seattle to spend my birthday with me. Without her Colbie and I would have been stuck in the house alone (Jon was in Vegas) with no TV for 3 days, yikes!! Thanks so much Nichole and Ryder for coming in the crazy snow and freezing rain to spend the weekend with us.
It was an adventure.....I had to walk to the Arco to get milk for Ryder and a few birthday drinks for the moms of course. Nichole watched the kids, the ice/snow was impossible to take a stroller though and too slippery to carry the kids. The next morning we woke up to ice repeatedly hitting the roof. The temperature warmed up quick and the ice from the trees was quickly melting and falling off in large clumps. Ryder kept asking us to "turn it off" because it was so loud! We were barely able to go to Red Robin for dinner by the last night of their visit. I drove around alone for about 30 minutes to find the safest route before putting the kids in the car. The drive was no problem but the parking lot was a skating rink, we were laughing so hard as we slipped around with both kids in our arms and carefully made it back to our cars.
Colbie loved every minute of her time with Cousin Ryder! He was so good with her and included her in everything he did. He would run down the hall and say "come on Colbie" then wait very patiently while she very slowly crawled towards him. He also made sure she had a hammer at all times (because he always does) and kept saying how busy he and Colbie were working and building. It's going to be so fun to watch these two grow up together!
