the calm before tomorrow's storm!

 We had a great day outside today. Daddy took all four of us girls for rides behind the snowmobile. We would have gone for longer but we got stuck at grandpa Dave's!

It might be cold, windy and snowing again in march but tonight all is right in the Hopkins house.

Olivia and Abbie decided to take a late afternoon nap today....daddy went to work for a bit but when he got home this little miss enjoyed having him all to herself. Can't get over moments like this!

Two years ago we started a tradition with Olivia and Abbie of having green milkshakes at the crows nest on st. Patrick's day...noe that the restaurant is closed we made our own!!

birthday girl

Uncle jake.and meme stayed after the party to help clean up! Before he left the birthday girl wanted to cuddle. What a special relationship my girls have with their uncle. He always wanted a nephew and I didn't give him that but he loves them just the same.

Abigail Lynn's Third Birthday!

Abbie decided a few months ago that she wanted to have a butterfly birthday!  She was so excited for her birthday this year...it was so contagious.  I did a little more decorating this year because she was so excited, I didn't want to let her down!  Luckily the dollar store was full of butterfly decorations because of Easter/Spring coming up!  (we love decorating our house for the Holidays lately, I think it is a stay at home mom thing.  If I have to be here all day, I want it to look pretty!!!)  After Abbie went to bed last night, the decorating and baking began.  (thanks to all of our family who brought things for our brunch too!)  When Abbie woke up this morning she was sooo excited.  She saw all of the decorations and said, "mommy, it looks so wonderful....it is my birthday!!!"  That made all of the hard work so worth it.  She said Happy Birthday to everyone who came through the door too.  What a great group of friends and family we have!
