Mehandis turned 4 on the 4th of December... his golden and "frozen" birthday. As many a mid-western might remember we were lucky to experience an unseasonably warm fall into late November.
No hats, snowpants or mittens were needed. Abera just used a light blanket to keep warm. Definitely was more wet and muddy then chilly.

When thinking through possible activities for Mehandis's birthday a trip to the zoo (albeit in December) seemed like a great option. And it was a blast! A snowy blast that came that day made it even more fun.

Kudos to both sets of grandparents (and baby Elisa) who braved the drive and braced for the cold to join us! We spent the most time in the reptile/fish "warming" house. But definitely hit all the hot spots inside and out.
Hot chocolate/Diet Cokes and cupcakes were enjoyed by all while Mehandis opened his presents. What was his favorite gift, asked by my parents, his answer "Underwear". Good work Nanni and Bompa!!!

Everyone got a chance to participate in snowball fun as we walked between exhibits. Gotta keep moving to keep warm!
A home made snowball cake, covered in whip cream and coconut frosting, was shared back at home.
Our big kid enjoyed big full day!
