Birthdays and Basketball!

The month of January is known for its dreary days, long nights and more cold than a person wants. At least it is a time for celebrations in the Wieland household! We celebrated 3 birthdays this month. Todd turned 46, Rachel turned 10 and Jordan (according to her) is a whole handful now (5)! We had a couple of family parties during the month as well as cake/cupcakes on the actual birthdays. Grandma T. came for a visit to help us celebrate.
We are also in the midst of basketball for all 3 girls. Sarah and Jordan practice on Saturday mornings and will "play" during half-time at the High School games next month. This is really a time for them to show off the skills they have been learning.

Rachel has graduated into the upper elementary program. We have traveled every Saturday with her for basketball tournaments. This is the first time she has been competing against other schools. It has been really fun to watch her improve with each game. She is a pretty good on the defensive end - imagine that!

Here are a few pics from the past month:

Rachel playing in her first game. She wants that ball!

Happy birthday!

Rachel is ready to blow out the candles on her cupcake tower.

Daddy made the Rascal a pink elephant cake!
Can I open my presents?
