One of the big highlights of the last month has been Olena's birthday. My darling, crazy, extreme, goofy, and wild child turned the big 9. Her biggest dream and wish...to visit the Gas Monkey Garage from the show Fast and Loud. Well it is not like the kid needed any toys, so her dream came true, well most of it. We packed up the suburban and drove 18 hours for 2 days all the way to Dallas. We enjoyed 60-70 degree weather and she was thrilled! She would have really loved to meet the star of the show, who is her self proclaimed future husband, but he was in AZ for the weekend at the Barrett Jackson Auction.
The weather here is just to unbearable for good outside pictures so her 9 year old photoshoot will need to wait until the spring.
I will try to get some videos uploaded in the next few days. Michigan has had something like 48 inches of snow in the month of January, which is more than we have ever gotten in a full season! We have trying to make the best of it and have gone sledding a few times. This week I am thinking we will try the ice rink and see how E does on skates! No luck with building any snowmen though because of the polar vortex, it has been too cold to do that. Cold dry snow doesn't pack very well. Everyone seems to be enjoying it though. Big difference from the winter we had last year. This time of January Olena was still riding her roller skates up and down the street while wearing a sweat coat.
Gotta call it a night, have a lot more stuff to get done. Good night.
