Happy V-day

Blake + Cate = friends forever!

They have so much fun together. (Which is a good thing, as they will be married later on in life.)

Last week we hosted preschool at our house for the first time! We didn't have class on Monday because Cate was sick, so Wednesday was full of all things "T." We made some trains (neglected to take pictures of that activity) and we made some trees. Our "trees" had kiwi leaves, a banana trunk, and tangelo sand.

We ate lunch together. And Cate felt like such a star, hanging with the big kids!

Here they are, minus one friend!

The girls love cereal for breakfast. I couldn't help but take a picture of Cate because she was so cute, sitting there with her bowl of Fruit Loops.

Good morning, Mom!

Here is the sole picture of the morning of our playdate at the Wangberg's!

Later that afternoon we went to the library. (We missed you Blake, Reed, and Lois!)

Daddy took us to Coldstone on Saturday and the girls loved it, of course.

Lizzie especially loved the bear!

Like my shoes, Mom?

On Sunday night, we had a fun baby shower for Katya at the Heit's house. Lois had the cutest decorations for the celebration--elephants!

Jeff and Lois stumped us with guessing-the-baby-name-of-the-animal game. Many of the baby animal names surprised us for sure! Justin won though!

Of course the kids wanted to help Katya open her presents!

Our Valentine's Day was fabulous. I made pink heart pancakes for breakfast and we topped them with sliced strawberries.

Chris and I gave the girls Valentine mailboxes with chocolate inside, complete with a stuffed Valentine animal. Lizzie got the monkey and Cate got the frog!

We went to story time once again and afterwards, we invited everyone to our house for lunch and playtime.

Chris surprised me tonight with a huge chocolate covered marshmallow and an Apple Pie apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory (my absolute favorite)! Even with school and work, he still found the time to get me some awesome treats. Love you Husband! ;) It's a very good thing that we had Katya's baby shower on Sunday night, because Daniel was born earlier this evening! Congratulations to the Turman family on their newest addition! :)
