Fun times in February

I love when the girls hang out together.  They were watching a movie together on Mia's bed one evening after their showers.  They both love wearing their bathrobes that they got for Christmas.

 Mia's soccer season wrapped up last weekend.  This was an instructional league so they learned a lot of basics and practiced a lot.  It was a good little season for her.

 She loves soccer and can't wait to play again!

 Lily had a Flat Stanley project at school. She mailed her Flat Stanley to Bama who took him around him town and snapped these pictures.  Lily then had a great time putting them together and making up adventures for him.  This was a really cute project.

Lily's class went to the Tellus Science Museum on Monday.  She thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to visit again sometime.

We had a tiny bit of snow and ice this week.  It was enough to cancel school and delay my office a couple of hours, but it wasn't as exciting as last year.  The girls have enjoyed playing in it though.

 The girls were very excited that Big Hero 6 came out this week! 

 

Valentine's 2015

Both of the girls love Valentine's Day. It's probably because there is lots of pink, lots of red and lots of hearts everywhere. I continued our tradition of putting hearts on the girls' doors each night telling them something we love about them. They love waking up to see their new one each morning!  Lily liked hers in a big heart design while Mia wanted hers in a big A. I think it was for Allison but maybe it was for Amelia. 

On Friday evening, Macey came to spend the night which brightened their day!  They especially had fun playing on our new trampoline. Macey is a great little gymnast so she taught them some cool tricks!  We made a fun valentines dinner for them of heart-shaped grilled cheese sandwiches, heart red jello and strawberries. I made Cupid Floats to drink which is vanilla ice cream in Cranberry Sierra Mist. They were thrilled to have ice cream as part of dinner!

This past weekend, JFBC hosted their annual Daddy Daughter Valentine's dance. The girls were very excited!  Who can blame them getting to go with this handsome guy?!

Daddy sure does love his girls!

What a lovely Valentine's celebration. 

Daddy Daughter Dates

Our whole family loves when the girls get to have dates with their daddy. He takes them out for a delicious dinner, and they get a fun evening with all of his attention. This week he took Lily to Veni, Vidi, Vici which has become "their spot" over the years. He also took Mia to Chops because she has grown to love "a juicy steak."  She's like me there!  They all three told me how much they loved their dates, and both girls made him the sweetest cards to say thank you. 

I so appreciate Ryan creating these special memories with the girls. He's such a great dad!
