Our Valentine's date!

So I have never been big into Valentine's Day. Jon and I have done the whole couples massages, nice dinner out, flowers etc....It's soooooo overrated!! We do that stuff throughout the whole year, so why fight the crowds on that "special" day. We decided this year we would just take the kids out to do something special for them. And we knew The Pizza Factory and Fat Cats wouldn't be too busy on this particular night, so that's where we ended up. The kids had so much fun, and it was acutally a pretty relaxing evening.

Lovin' the breadsticks...mmmmm.

They rode this about half a dozen times..... :)

This is about as close as Chandler's gonna get to riding a bullet bike....at least until he's out of our house! :)

HaPpY bIrThDaY ChArLi!

I can't believe my baby girl is 2!! Time sure does fly when you're having fun. Charli has been such a blessing to have in our family. She is such a happy girl (most of the time), and has a great little personality. We love you Charli!

Charli playing with her friends, Camdyn and Mia!

Lovin' it!

She loves her maracas! :)

Sledding!

The kids LOVE sledding!! Here I was dreading winter cause I thought, "the kids aren't gonna be able to go outside cause it's too cold and they're gonna drive me nuts!" But turns out all we needed was some snow clothes and a couple of sleds. We have been 3 times in the past week, and they are lovin' it!

Chandler was so brave, he just wanted to go solo!

Christmas

I LOVE Christmas, I love the craziness, I love the shopping and I love that my kids are starting to understand what it all means. It comes in very handy when they are being naughty. I just tell them, "Santa isn't gonna come if you're not good." :) They were so excited about it this year and that made it so much fun.

We made cookies for Santa!

Mmmmmm

Chandler's Gingerbread boy!

Santa LOVED his cookies!!

It didn't stay this clean for long...... :)

Sesame Street Live!

This weekend we went and saw Elmo and the whole gang at Sesame Street Live at The E Center. When I heard it was coming I knew I had to get tickets because my kids LOVE Elmo and the others from Sesame Street. They were totally entertained the whole time. It's crazy how long Sesame Street has been around, my Mom and Dad took me to see Sesame Street Live when I was 2 1/2 and it's still going strong!

So excited to go!

Love Bert and Ernie! They were my favortie when I was little.

Charli was glued to it the whole hour and 15 min!

Abby and Elmo! Charli's favorites!

The End!

Chandler waving goodbye.
