Happy Groundhog Day!

I don't know about you, but my father raised me right. He taught me to appreciate the fine things in life like giant banana costumes, rubber chickens, and holidays centered around pulling a giant rodent out and asking it to predict the weather.

Which is why Carolena and Nils awoke this morning to a large banner in our kitchen and celebratory blueberry muffins (a breakfast treat around here).

There were Punxatony Phil coloring pages to work on.

 

And Groundhog "hats" (masks) to create and don.

 

Oatmeal cookies were baked as a special activity and dessert.

Fun and general merriment was had by all! Happy Groundhog Day!
