Groceries, Snow, Birthday, and Knives...

This is how we spend a quiet afternoon...

Our favorite grocery store opened a new location downtown, just a couple blocks away from Dan's office.  We love Harmon's.  Yes... we love Harmon's.  Dan headed down on his lunch break the day after they opened and had a look around.  A co-worker went with him and at laughed at how giddy he was...
This picture is from the second floor near the cafe/housewares/cooking school/gelato bar/coffee bar/sushi station.  Any wonder why this is our favorite store?  (That and they have drive and load so we can just worry about getting the kids in the car and have them load the groceries.)

For Christmas Uncle Bart and Aunt Lori gave the kids sleds.  They were thrilled!!  But this winter had yet to be sled worthy.  We've had a dusting of snow now and then, but nothing worth a ride down a hill.  Until last weekend...  A decent storm came through the area and the golf course down the street from Bart and Lori's beckoned.  (Well... Bart and Lori beckoned with promises of hot cocoa and other scrumptious treats they had purchased at the new Harmon's - see, everyone was excited about the new store.)

We all took turns riding down with each of the kids.  It was a wonderfully beautiful day and we all had a blast!  Then fingers got cold and it was time for the walk back to Bart and Lori's for treats and warmth.  If you are near Harmon's we all recommend the apple tart!

Lexi's birthday was last week.  There was cake!  (From Harmon's!)


Caroline and Hayden both love to help cook.  Caroline is an "I do it!" kind of helper.  She really wanted to cut the zucchini herself, but we have to draw the line somewhere...
Harmon's, if you are listening, we would like some sort of kickback for all the kudos...
