First Birthday

Joanna's Birthday was on Friday and the whole Pierzina/Holley clan minus the newly weds who were truly missed ventured to Sunriver for a three day weekend.  We had a little princess themed party for Jojo, she had so much fun.  She sat in her highchair throne and devoured, smashed and smeared her whole cake.  She was performing.  She would squeeze the cake, pause, look around the room which sent everyone into laughter then do it again.  Over and over she was trying to see what reaction she would get ever time.  She opened her presents like a pro with plenty of help from her brother and cousins.

My nephew Jacobs 7th Birthday fell on Sunday so we celebrated Saturday.  The snow was mostly melted but we made the best of it and found a patch on the golf course.  Joanna got pulled around in her little bird sled and Jared wanted to be pushed down the hill over and over.  He would sit on his bottom get pushed down and once his sled stopped at the bottom he would switch to his stomach and wait for someone to tow him back up.  Joseph and Jordan were content to use sticks to dig and draw in the snow and the older boys of course made a ramp they jump jump the sled off of.

We went straight from sledding to the ice skating rink.  I'm surprised how much the little kids enjoyed it.  We had to tow them along so it was pretty difficult since I'm not much of a skater and every time I took a break to lean against the wall with Jordan she  let me know she wasn't done yet.  The big boys of course were trying to do 360s and race...

We went back to the cabins for Jacob's Birthday party and then went swimming at the spa which was amazing.  The pool was salt water and the locker room had a hot tub grotto complete with a waterfall and foe starry night sky.  Joseph swam around with his arm floaters on so well and Joanna was very relaxed in her  Mr. Crab floaty. 

All in all it was a great weekend.  I love creating these memories that will last a lifetime!.
