February Happenings

February flew by!  For the superbowl we were more than a little excited that the Broncos won!  Here is our family all ready for the game to start!  Tommy's first name is Payton after Peyton Manning so he was pretty happy with the win too!
 The sun finally came out and it warmed up to melt off the sidewalk so we jumped at the first chance to ride bikes!  I normally LOVE the snow, but we had so much of it for so long this winter that I was very done with it.  Now it is mostly all melted.
 I planned Tommy's Valentine party.  We tried doing full class activities instead of little stations because I felt like that gave it much more of a party feel.  Here the kids are doing musical dance hearts.  It was a fun day.
 It also happened to be spirit week and it was "dress up with your friends" day so Tommy and Addalyn were minions together. 
(She lives in our neighborhood and both Tommy & Whitney adore her.)
 My mom took the kids up to the cabin on Saturday and Vic and I were supposed to go on a hot Valentine date.... instead Vic bought a house and wanted to get a jump start on painting so we painted for 8 hours straight and were too tired to move at night!  The next morning on Valentine's Day we drove up to the cabin and made pink pancakes for breakfast.
 Aunt Pam spoiled the kids with lots of fun treats.
 She also brought chocolate molds for them to make some Valentine candies.
 They were a bit sloppy, but the kids were pretty proud of them!
 We had heart shaped pizza for lunch.
 We had spaghetti, pink cake, and red valentine jell-o for dinner.  I drew hearts on the rolls too.  It was pretty festive :)
 During the day Uncle Danny pulled the kids around and around the island on sleds.  Their faces were frozen, but they didn't care one bit.  They could do this all day!

 ... and who needs a sledding hill when we have the snow bank?!
