Valentine's Day and catching up

We had such a great Valentine's weekend as a family. I didn't want February to slip by without blogging about our special weekend.


Ella has mastered the art of saying "Cheese!" This is her new look for pictures! I think they are the cutest things I have ever seen!





Look at my sweet little Eliza...too bad they both weren't smiling!

Us girls made a special dinner for daddy when he got home from work on Friday night!


While we were eating it started to SNOW!! We were so excited!

We had cupcakes for dessert! They were so good...can't you tell!

We played Princess memory! It was cut a little short..but we had some fun!


This is what we woke up to the next morning! Yes mommy did wear her pj pants in snow...we aren't really prepared for that here!

Eliza and mommy enjoyed the snow from the inside!!


Daddy and ella made a snow family!


They played hard and had so much fun!

We came inside and got warmed up. We ate pancakes and snuggled together!


Mommy had a great idea to bake lots of valentine cookies! Daddy saw I needed some help!


Baking overload...I may not do this for a very long time. Next time we'll do pre-made cookies!


We baked and decorated and baked and decorated! It was fun and a MESS! Ella napped for this part!



It was such a fun and different weekend for us...one we will always remember!

Kevin is making such a silly face in one of those pictures that I didn't even know who he was!

And Eliza is looking more and more like Landon! If she memorizes scripture like him, they'll be quite the pair!

We have a dress that matches Ella's V-day dress. We'll pass it on. By the time she's in it, Eliza will be in that one.
