A total 'boy' party

Noah was invited to a birthday party at our friends - the Lovejoys.  Their sons name is Noah also.  They played army games at the party which the boys all loved.  They were split on to two teams - Honor and Valor.  Noah was on team 'Honor'.  There was an obstacle course and they also played capture the flag.  Their party favor included the t-shirt they are wearing and wooden machine gun you see them all holding:)

Snowshoe Bonfire Tour

This year since Pat and Sue (Kelly's parents) were coming to visit after Christmas we decided to get them an 'experience' gift of a snowshoe and bonfire tour through Wanderlust Tours.  This is the same company we went with this summer when we did the moonlight canoe trip on Sparks lake with some friends.  This time it would be a snowshoe hike at night with a bonfire waiting for us!   We were in for an extra special treat last night as it was snowing like mad up in the mountains making for a real winter outing with fresh powder to snowshoe through!    Waiting for us was a carve snow seating with seating pads, a fire, treats from sparrow bakery and warm drinks with your choice of spirits if you like.  I selected the crater lake hazelnut vodka by Bend distillery with my hot chocolate!  

Great fun and highly recommended by all of us.
