We had a family get together with dinner, games and icecream cake - complete with confetti poppers, to celebrate!

Stella helped make an ice cream cake and a celebratory poster with game prizes, which we missed getting a photo but you'll get the idea when you see the pic of the pinterst inspiration!

A winter storm brings down a tree on our propery while Randy is out of town! What to do?! Call the Brasher highway department, who immediately gets to work and cleans up the mess. We were so grateful for their help!

 

Stella and I ventured to the Northern Border to head across Canada to meet up with Randy and Claire at the end of the month.
