Arrrgh Matey: Finn's pirate party

We threw Finn his first friend party this year. We had a house full of Pirates!
We made telescopes out of toilet paper rolls
played pin the pirate on the treasure map
had a pirate lunch
and went on a Treasure hunt!
He wanted to dress up just like "jake"


Daniel had a mandatory meeting that morning at school, and was just planing on taking the bus home in time for the party. Turns on the Saturday bus schedule is different so he was going to be late if he waited for it. So he RAN in -20 degree weather about 2 miles from school to make it in time! What a sweet daddy.
 Captain Hook was a hit!
Closest one to the treasure! Everyone got chocolate gold coins as prizes

The Treasure hunt was the highlight of the party

It was so crazy to see them all play together like they were people or something! They were a roudy bunch of boys so it was a full 2 hours, but he had such a blast!

January Trips i.e. escape from Hoth

After spending Christmas together we were so excited to see family!! We drove to Dallas and it was beautiful. We went to the zoo enjoyed the Park (for the first time in 3 months) and got to see the Manions! Emery and B were instant pals.
Then our friends from Houston rarandomly had a 24 hour layover in Dallas. We were stoked, Logan and Finn couldn't have been more excited to see each other!


 Then we went to Utah. Daniel was able to come with us, then go on to see baby Nora get blessed in Idaho. Finn loved being with all of his cousins and we all got some much needed Nona and Papa time!
