Aunt Nat's and Uncle Matt's Visit

Aunt Nat and Uncle Matt were home for a visit this weekend, so we all went to dinner with them and Gee and Pappy on Saturday night. We had a really nice time, and the kids were so excited to see Aunt Nat and Uncle Matt!

Nicholas loves to wear his Superman costume, ride his horse, and get the bad dragons with his sword!

Valentine's Party!

We hosted a little Valentine's party over our long weekend with my friends from work and their kiddos! I hope all the kids had a fun time - I know mine sure did!

Shelby brought materials to decorate Valentine picture frames. Nicholas, Matthew, and Maddie are really concentrating in this photo. Nicholas was very excited to use glitter glue for the first time!


Alina, Kelsey, and Maddie enjoyed playing with all the Barbie dolls and princesses in the girls' room.

Lilly and Nicholas eating pizza. Nicholas was very concerned that Lilly was going to take his sippy cup. But she just wanted to "talk" to him and show him her pizza. She looked so adorable in her little white vest!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! The girls had a Valentine exchange and pizza party at school on Wednesday. Miss Cathy was going to bake Valentine cupcakes with the kids on Thursday, but because of the wind storm, we were without power all day! I'm sure it was a very long day for Miss Cathy! So we made the cupcakes on Friday morning, and then took some over to Miss Cahty's so she wouldn't miss out completely. The kids had fun!

Super Bowl Sunday!

Visit to Aunt Nat's and Uncle Matt's

We also visited Aunt Nat and Uncle Matt while we were in D.C. Their apartment was really, really nice! And the kids had so much fun playing on the steps and doing their "work" in the office!

Aunt Kelly's Visit to D.C.

Aunt Kelly was in D.C. for work last week, so we met her, Baba, Uncle Dave, and Aunt Vick on Saturday for lunch and to celebrate Kel's and Vick's birthdays. We had fun, and it was so nice to see Kelly since we don't get to see her as much anymore.
