Grace and Groundhog Day

Grace's Birthday Party

If you've checked out Grace's Fun Factoids you may have wondered if we skipped celebrating her birthday. Nope.  She chose to have her party on Groundhog Day!

Tuning in to Gobbler's Knob

Punxsutawney is just a few minutes south of Coolspring and we've had fun finding all the Phil statues with our friends from Say Hello to My Little Friends.  It took quite a few visits; you can use the magic search box in the sidebar to search Phil to fine all the posts.  The second link is to my trip with Abby. Anyway we got up early to watch the virtual celebration of Groundhog Day and to see the real Phil!  We laughed at all the fun stuff that usually happens.  And think we might want to put it on our bucket list.
Xyra said she'd be okay at the back of the crowd if Franz brought a small propane heater to huddle around!

He's so cute!

Here he comes!


They do talk to him nicely.

And the prediction...

I think Phil was right.  It's still snowing!



Party Time

AMC played the movie Groundhog Day on a loop yesterday.  We had it on and watched it 4 times!









Lots of great food to share too.
Can you spot our groundhogs?

Happy Birthday (belated by choice), Grace!


Have you ever seen the movie Groundhog Day?  It wasn't really filmed in Punxsutawney.  They say the reason is they didn't think the town was quaint enough.  We think they're nuts.  Punxsy is a fun town with some interesting homes. Of course, the town they chose has more of a grid pattern to the streets - that Punxsy does not. 

Thank you for partying with us!  Do you have any prediction traditions where you live?  We know there are more prognosticators out there besides Phil.

Stay safe and well and warm!

Melody's Birthday 2021

PartyTime

(sighs) I think our work here is done.

Lanie it looks great!
I love the finishing touches you added.

You and Grace did a great job with the cake.
It's a little off balance.
It will be fabulous!

The Cake looks awesome, Grace.
Thanks Kaya! Your sign is perfect!

Here she is!
Birthday girl alert!
Woot Woot!
(laughing)

Hey! This is great!  I thought we were just going to hang out and watch movies?
Well, you know we have to amp it up a bit. (giggles)

The cake looks yummy! Can't go wrong with chocolate!
(Grace and Peni together) And buttercream icing! (giggles)

This is a great party! I love the purple theme!  You all look great! 


Look at all the snacks!
A little something for everyone.



Present time!

First, we all chipped in to get you a Swatch watch.
Love it!  The color is perfect!

Second, this is my very first attempt at a blanket.
We all chose the yarn because it kind of represented all of our favorite colors.
Sort of.
It's a bit short. I think I held the hook and yarn too tight.
I think it's awesome!

Thank you! I have the best sisters!

Xyra note:  Melody's birthday was Thursday, January 14.  We celebrated on Sunday, January 17.  Of course, lots of birthday greetings were said on her special day.  

What's your favorite birthday treat? Or type of cake?

Thank you for partying with us! 

Have a nice day!  Stay safe and well.

Eight Years?!

Who'd Have Thought It?


Earlier

Hey, what are you still doing in your pjs?
Just hanging with the new dolls.
Have you forgotten we are setting up for the big celebration?
No, but I didn't think it would take that long.
Tsk.
Okay, I'm going!

It Begins

I think it looks great.
Yes.  I think we've covered everything.
What's with the skates?
One of Xyra's friends is doing a skate challenge this year.  I thought I'd join her.
Cool.
Oh my gosh!
Everything looks great!
Thanks!
Is everything ready?
Mel is right behind us.
You bet!
Wow! Are we having a party!
Of course!
It's not every day out log turns 8.
Eight on the eighth, so cool!
So do we have any goals for this year?
Do better than last year.
Yeah, 2020 was our worst year blogging.
Bring back the calendar rebuilds.
More tea!
Have courage and be kind!
Organize our closets!
Update the pages our blog.
I like these goals. Let's get our blog shot!
Say cheese! (giggles)
No, say tea! (laughing)



Thank you so much to all our followers and readers and commenters.  We love you!  You keep us going!


Have a  nice day!  Stay safe and well!
