Birthday Dessert

While Dad was off in Canada for work, Mom and Mallory went for a special birthday dinner with Bobo and Brian at Big Bowl. Of course they were quick to tell the waitress that it was Mallory's birthday in order to get the free dessert.

As you can tell, Mallory was luke warm about the whole dessert thing initially.

But after a while, she had no problem mowing it down.

Clean plate, not so clean hands and face...

Fire and Ice

Plymouth has a winter festival in early February known as "Fire and Ice". Since we have lived here over 5 years, we figured we should finally go check it out.

Mallory and Dad went for a ride around a frozen Parkers Lake behind an ATV.

It was a frosty afternoon, so everyone was bundled up to keep warm.

One thing that helped us keep warm was going over to the fire to make S'mores. Guess whose idea that was???

Target Shopper

Mallory loves going to Target with us for grocery shopping. But the deal is, if she is going to the store, she has to help put stuff away too.

So Dad usually unloads the car and brings the bags inside the door. That means Mallory has to go into the mud room and get the newest bag...

...then we walk it into the kitchen...

...and of course she needs to peek inside to see if there are any goodies for her.
