Happy Valentines Day

 

Lauren’s greeting to me made out of a building toy, and Katelyn’s first real experience with a balloon, she was fascinated.

          

 

I had made some fun manipulatives for us to do in school……counting, shape matching and chocolate play dough

                         

                      

 

I tried my hand at some homemade doughnuts for breakfast.  We had our church small group meeting so we had a quick dinner of french toast.  We celebrated with a nice dinner the following night.  The heart ice cream brownie is a traditional favorite.

                 

                                 

I love any occasion to celebrate and have some fun, make some memories and traditions.

A visit with Friends

 

Our good friends from NC came to see us in late January.  It was nice enough to snow right before they came.  As usual we had a great time hanging out and catching up.

   

 

                  the girls made some petal cupcakes that were as tasty as they were beautiful

of course some fun in the snow
