Cardinal Paintings

A few weeks ago, Mommy and I painted cardinals at a painting class at the Summit. It was a birthday present from Daddy because he knows how much she loves cardinals and their meaning.

The instructor had drawn the cardinal on beforehand
so that it was easier.

A Different Birthday Getaway/January Update

Normally we go to Gatlinburg for Mommy’s birthday celebration. This year we changed it up and went to Raleigh. The Pittsburgh Penguins were playing the Carolina Hurricanes, so we thought it would be fun to go to the game. We spent the afternoon at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and then we met Uncle Dave and Mallory and had so much fun!

Enjoying all of the things to see at the museum....

We love and miss you, Opa!

We went to Clouds Brewing Co. for a quick snack
before heading to the Saucer.

Ready for the game!

We had high seats but it was actually a really 
good view!

I got a souvenir cotton candy! 

We got cupcakes from a local bakery before the
game, but ate them at the hotel afterwards.

Here are also the other January pictures that we never posted…

I love Jovie!

I got new decorations for my fish tank for my
birthday. This was on New Year's Eve and I even
made a hat for Buddy and Becky.

Jovie even got a hat, though it didn't last long.

Cheers to a new year!

Happy New Year!

Sparkling apple juice.

We went ice skating again one day.

Mommy ate lunch with me for my belated 
birthday. We brought in cookies for the class to enjoy.

We smashed a smash cake from Uncle Dave.

I lost another tooth!

Hopefully we won't get behind on the blog again.

Wishing everyone a wonderful new year. Love you all!
