Well our baby girl Jordyn Noel, 1-11-11, had her birthday today.  She is three years old.  During the week it looked like the weather would finally let up for Saturday...
"Grams what do you think could your back take a trip to Foley for the day"
"Sure, I'll make the chicken...
I'll make the pretzels...
I'll make the veggies!"
"Okay then I'll let everyone know and we will head up there... plan on eating at 1:00"
Indeed on Saturday it does finally warm up from the arctic chill we had on Monday (-50 below wind chills, the Governor called off schools state wide for the first time sense 1996).
Gramma Jeff and I load up the clothes and food and off we go, leaving Arlington by 9:30.
When we arrive we unload the car and gramma gets the food in the oven.  Jordyn appears to be overwhelmed with happiness that it is her birthday, and is to excited for pictures!
Lacey, Nola, Lindsey and Cassie arrive next.
The food is out and we all eat together.  I believe eating together is biblical, a beautiful time to enjoy each other.  Conner was at a friends and he arrives home now ready for the party. 
We get out the ice cream cake, sing happy birthday, and open presents.
The kids play with the gifts for awhile and decide it is time to take advantage of the temperatures.
It is already colder than it should be...
but, that doesn't stop the sledding!
However, our little Jordyn Noel fell asleep the minuet they got in the van to go to the Foley Hill.
She sleeps through the sledding and when the rest all go to gather in the van...
she wakes up!
Sorry Jordie, the manager just closed up the hill for the night.
She is happy, she is with her family and friends...
they head home to play with toys and try on clothes...
we head back to Arlington.
Happy birthday baby girl!!
