The Zaremba and Long familes celebrated the New Year in Chelan at Grandma and Grandpa C's house. While we were there we had quite the celebration. We rang in the New Year at 8:30 with the kids - Nathan, Kayla, Kenzie and Ben. None of them can read clocks so it was just as exciting as if we'd done it at midnight. We celebrated Grandpa C's 60th birthday, January 3rd, at the same time and had a 'Big Top Cupcake' that the girls helped make that afternoon. Quite fun and tasty! Good thing I got my own big top mold for Christmas. Here's Grandpa C and the crew with the cake.
Here's the TMI part of this entry. The other part of our celebration was for Kenzie going #2 in the potty! We have been working on potty training since Christmas and she's doing great. We were really amazed when we were driving over to Chelan and she had on a diaper for the three hour ride and told us she had to potty and then actually went when we stopped. She is also doing really good overnight and at naps - can't wait to be entirely done with diapers for her. Our only hang up is with telling us when she has to do #2 but we're trying and we know she can do it!
Here's Ben cruising around causing trouble. Good thing Grandma and Grandpa C move fast because Ben keeps you on your toes. He is so into climbing onto anything and everything. This weekend at home Matt looked away for a second and then went to find Ben and he was in the bathroom standing on top of the toilet seat trying to climb onto the tank. I had him upstairs while I was folding laundry and then heard him laughing and found him up on our bed clapping and thinking he was so funny. He had climbed up this little foot stool I have next to the bed. That has been put away. It's always amazing to try to figure out how Ben got the places you find him - he's got an amazing knack for figuring things out.
The other really exciting thing that happened while we were in Chelan was SNOW! There was a tiny bit when we arrived, mostly just piled up in little snow drifts here and there but then on New Years Eve it really started coming down and didn't stop until we had about 8 inches of new snow! Enough for sledding, snow angels and a snowman - such fun for the kids. Here's me with Ben and Kenzie out in the snow. Everyone loved it!
Chelan is such a beautiful place - here's a great shot of Aunt Kacey and the kids sledding down the driveway with the lake in the background.
My very own little snow angel. She just kept on going and going in that snow until she got 'brrr'!

I love the snow angel. Wish we would get some snow here, so my little man could play in it.
