Lauren's Birthday Blizzard

Mother nature's gift to Lauren on her 7th birthday was the snowiest day in 19 years. It started snowing late Friday night and didn't stop until Saturday night. On top of all the snow the winds were 35-40 mph. At times we couldn't see the house across the street from us. The Minnesota Department of Transportation even pulled all the snow plows off the roads because it was too dangerous. It was crazy!

Lauren got a lot of attention for her birthday because no one could go anywhere. We celebrated her birthday by going to see "Tangled" (on Friday before the snow started). She got to choose her favorite birthday breakfast (donuts) and dinner (Hawaiian Haystacks). After dinner we had snowman cake and ice cream. She spent most of the day playing with her birthday gifts. All in all I don't think she minded be snowbound on her birthday.

Lauren is a smart, helpful, happy little girl and we are glad she is part of our family.
