Happy Birthday Winry! What a cutie! Winry's had a super year, and done a lot of growing up. She lost her first tooth, started kindergarten, and has become a reading machine! She's been a joy. She is full of energy and loves to share her happiness with everyone. It's been amazing to watch her learn and grow and bless our family! We love you Winry!
I got a new phone this week. It's the Motorola Razr+. It' folds, which is pretty cool, and is the main reason why I wanted to get it. There's something about flip phones that I really like. Another thing I really like is that when it's folded there's a screen on the front, and you can run basically any app on it. So I don't have to open my phone to do things like text, email, etc. Since there is a second screen, it also means it's really easy to use the nice cameras for selfies, and it plays an animation to catch kids attention when you're taking pictures, and Grayson LOVES it! Just look at that huge smile I was able to get. Seriously though, it's a little animation of a cartoon face making faces at you, and the color changes, but kids really are glued to it for pictures! Maybe I'll try to get some pictures of it on Monica's phone to share since it is pretty unique, and I do really like it.
The Christmas lights around Grayson's window slowly attempted to consume his bed! Monica did that for him and he really loves it. The lights are down now, which is a little sad, but he still has his Christmas tree in there, and I love it as his night light!
We had the missionaries over for dinner on I believe Tuesday night this week. Grayson was craaaaazy. When I took this picture I really thought it was a lot better than this, but I guess I didn't actually look very closely when I took it...
Anyway... on Winry's birthday the kids got ready for school real quick so that Winry could open presents in the morning before school. It's amazing how fast they can get ready when they're motivated! Winry was very excited, she got a game, and some fun crafts!
We joined Winry for lunch at school! She wanted us to pick up Chick-fil-a, so that's what we had. We were joined by another girl in kindergarten who also had her birthday! That was pretty cool. Lunch was a lot of fun!
That afternoon, Grayson... ate like a cat? I'll be honest, I was working...
While Winry was at school our present for her arrived in the mail, which was a kindle. She was very excited for it, and that afternoon she and Brooke were reading together on the couch. She's really loved it so far and has already read a few books, so that's pretty awesome.
Winry wanted to go to Jeramiah's and get ice cream for her birthday treat! We took candles along with us and sang happy birthday there. It wasn't very busy, so it was pretty awesome to get to spend family time there and have it be quiet. I mean... external from our family quiet. Anyway, it's an ice cream and Italian ice place, and it's pretty fun. I definitely want to go back and try some other flavors! Most importantly, Winry very much enjoyed herself.
Here's a picture of Jelly I got using my phone's macro mode. I got right up close to her face, and I guess she decided it wasn't too invasive, because she didn't get up. Mostly, I just really liked this picture! And it's hard to see that she's shaved, so she looks like her long haired self!
