Happy Valentine's Day

The girls had a great day at school today with their Valentine's Day parties! This year Marissa had to decorate a box for her valentine cards - there were even prizes to see who had the best decorated box, I think there should have been prizes for the parents too. I guess all that hard work payed off because she got 1st place!! She was so excited!!! Here is a picture of her with her valentine box.
This became a family project and her sisters even helped. Of course we didn't start this project until around 7pm - 2 hours later we were finally finished!

For Valentine's Day the girls each got a Webkinz from us. They were so excited! Myah said right away she was going to name her's Easton after her bestest friend. Makayla wanted to name her's Morgan after her friend Morgan who also has the same horse. Marissa has fallen in love with horses after seeing the movie Flicka, so she wanted to name her horse Flicka.

This morning we enjoyed dohnuts for breakfast with daddy before he headed off to work. Then he brought home lunch for me and him, which was a nice treat!

The girls each were anxious to play with their Webkinz after school! Then tonight we enjoyed a nice dinner together!

Hope you all had a happy Valentine's Day too!

Oh, the Valentine's Boxes! I have fond memories of making those things! Good to see they're still alive and well in NW Ohio. Oh, and you guys too. :)

When I told Easton that Myah named her frog after him, his mouth dropped open and he got this huge smile on his face. Then he said if he got a frog, he would name it Myah.

Welcome to our home at Christmas. When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l

1 Year Later

Just the other day I was looking back at some of my posts and realized that I started our family blog 1 year ago this month. I can't believe it has already been a year. My first post was about celebrating the 4th of July at Mark and Jane's. On Friday we will be heading out to Mark and Jane's for another great 4th with our friends. I have really enjoyed keeping up with our family blog. I hope that you have also enjoyed reading each of my posts.
