Happy St. Patty's Day & Happy 3rd Birthday Ellie!

Little Miss Ellie turned 3 this past weekend on St. Patrick's Day!  The party was planned for Saturday, but poor Ellie was sick with strep and croup:(  The party got moved to the next day (her actual birthday and St. Patty's Day), but unfortunately I had to work!  So Sam took Cora and Josh and I hear that everyone had a blast!  Aunt KK send me some pictures from the party...so here they are!  Happy Birthday sweet Ellie, we love you!

Josh and Ellie love to play together, they are actually only 18 months apart!

Yummy cupcakes!

Looks like Cora is very into Ellie's presents!

Ellie was not her 100% self that day, poor

Hello March!

We are anxiously awaiting warm weather and Spring to come!  March has had a few warm days so far, but more cold than warm.  We have been staying busy and fighting off colds off and on.  Last week we had a surprise snow storm, which we got about 5 or so inches of wet snow!  Cora and Josh had a cold so we stayed inside and watched it fall:) 
Last Saturday Nana and Pop's church held a 5K and 1 mile Kid's Run.  Madelyn, Cora, and Ellie all ran the Kid's Run and it was a success!  Cora was at the end of her cold, so she was definitely not 100%.  She ran with her Daddy and enjoyed it when he carried her during the middle of the race!  Madelyn was the star of the race by never stopping!  We were so proud of her!  Ellie was her cute self and cut midway during the race so she could finish with her sister and cousin!  Afterwards we enjoyed some food and the kids played in the bouncy house.  It was a fun morning and we can't wait to make this an annual event for the kids!  Thanks Nana and Pop for making this happen, we love you!

Hanging out indoors!
