Day 9

Happy 11th Birthday Jack Jack!

The best is yet to come!

Day 8

Today is Jackson's Birthday Eve...tomorrow he will be 11 years old.  It is hard to believe!

Day 7

This morning was one of the coldest in the past 20 years here.  I think NBC had 5 degrees on the screen when we woke up!  Crazy cold for NC.

Anyway, I had seen several posts on Facebook about blowing bubbles in the bitter cold.  Crazy effects like they instantly freeze and don't burst when they land.

Before I took Emma and Jackson to school, I took Emma out to try the bubbles.  Unfortunately, we didn't have any real bubble solution or a wand.  I quickly made a homemade recipe of bubbles...1 Tbsp dishwashing liquid to 1 cup of water.  For a wand, Emma used our slotted serving spoon!

True to her Russian roots, Emma insisted on wearing a cardigan and hat...no coat or gloves!

Here is a photo of Emma blowing bubbles.  It was not cold enough to really have the effect we were hoping for...

One of JC's cousins lives in the mountains, and her husband is a photographer.  This is a photo he was able to capture this morning.  The bubble looks like a glass ornament.  So cool!

I saved this image from Facebook so it's not the best resolution.

Day 6

I am really going to miss all of these beautiful faces when we finally take down our Christmas cards.

Day 5

Lazy, cold, rainy Sunday ~

Day 4

Today we went to eat at the Angus Barn for JC's Christmas present

Always a beautiful time. 

Day 3

Too cold outside...hanging out indoors watching Netflix on the iPad.

Day 2

It is so yucky here...gray skies, torrential downpours!  I hate it!  If I could move to a tropical island every October to April, I would go in a heartbeat!

Day 1

Here we go again...

Day 365

Seems hard to believe that I am posting for Day 365...this Project 365 has been so much fun at times and so much work at times.  In hind-sight, I am so glad that I did it. A big shout out to my friend, Maria, for helping to keep me accountable for posting.  I have truly enjoyed sharing this project with you, dear friend!

Here's to the New Year!
