You know you’re tired when……

 

 

           

           

 

Gotta love being young enough to still fall asleep wherever you are when you get tired.

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

Winter Beauty

 

We have some amazing sunsets.  These were taken from my kitchen window, looking out over the backyard and the farm behind us.   This isn’t the same sunset, but different ones.

Catching up …..again

 

Well, it’s no surprise, that I’m behind on my blog, yet again.  Keep waiting for a time to catch up.  This will be a very brief, catch up.  Just too many cute pictures to pass up.    

Just so you know we did have a wonderful Christmas at home.  Lots of relaxing, traditions, food and family. 

Baking and crafting…..

            

 

    

 

Hannah had a Cookie Party again this year with her friends.  Making cookies and ornaments and then delivering them to a nearby Retirement home.   A fun time with friends while serving others,  a great Christmas combo.

                        

We really enjoyed having Ken’s sister Trina here for a visit after Christmas.  It was great fun hanging out with her.

                 

 

And well just cause she’s cute…..
