Happy 12th Birthday Erik! Turtle Cheesecake!
(there is a little glimpse of the broken arm)

This is the cake he had at his cousin's house. He loved having more than one party. We also got to make our own pizzas for this party. It doesn't get any better than this!

We took a big family trip this month to Minnesota to go to the Severson Reunion at Mavis' cabin. It was so good to see my
cousins again and get to meet their families. We also got to camp with my brother and sister and their families.

We took a day to go to Blackduck and visit Grandpa and Marion on the lake. It was a special time to go back to a place I hadn't visited in many years and for my family to see the places I tell them stories about from my childhood.

Happy Half-Birthday

Erik's half Birthday is January 3rd. We always celebrate in a fun little way. He had Chocolate Chip pancakes for breakfast. He got some new books as reading is his PASSION. If you are ever wondering where he is, you don't have to look much farther than behind the nearest book! Hard to believe my itty bitty baby is now 8 1/2!
