 Happy Birthday Stella!  We celebrated at Grammie and Pa's house with some ice cream cake and brownies.

This year for the birthday bash we had a get together with friends at the Chilly Delight Frozen Yogurt shop in Potsdam.  As usual, Stella planned most of the party, choosing decorations, games, and prizes.  It was great fun!

Balloon stomp, pin the nose on the snowman, and a dice game kept everyone busy for a while.  And for favors the kids all got to choose a circle on the punch board.

Some other happenings this month:

Post-Children  Church fun!  Here's Claire working with Miss Claudia on folding her game.  Claudia is a retired elementary teacher and was happy to lend a helping hand after worship!

Some school work to be proud of:

 First the Mini Cooper, then the Van!  On an icy afternoon driving home from work I was unable to stop quickly enough in front of the Catholic church in Potsdam.  I hit some ice and slid into the stopped car in front of me, who was waiting for another car to turn left into the church.  I wasn't moving fast, but even so a lot of damage was done.  The van was a total loss.  Replacing both of our vehicles within 7-weeks of one another was not fun, but thanks to Frazer Motors (again!) we were able to find a preowned van just like the one we've grown to love so much.
