Blizzards and Birthdays

Maya's first experience with a winter birthday in MN was a tough one. We had invited some friends over for a gathering but Mother Nature wasn't cooperating. We got nearly 18" of snow and it was impossible to get anywhere. So we had a quiet few days at home, snowed in.

The Loot!


The drifts outside the door.

It was soooo cold outside. Everyone lasted about 5 minutes. Painfully cold.


Talking to her admirers!


Auntie Kate skyped in to sing Happy Birthday as a very special treat.
