Valentine's Day

MORE Valentine treats! This is at the Fancy Nancy party at the library on Valentine's Day. Just the girls went to this while the boys went to the ball park.

Making a "Fancy" glitter box.

Our tradition.... when the girls go shopping at the local mall we have a tried and true girly girl tradition. We shop a little, go to Starbucks, mom gets a coffee and K gets her "special milk". We sit down in the food court and just chat. So much fun!

Friends

We had friends over the decorate Valantine cookies.

Valentine Party

W came up with the great idea to recycle his broken guitar into a Valentine mail box.

K painted a craft a few weeks ago and decided to use it to collect her Valentine's. There are no plain shoeboxes at this party!

K's favorite part- the sugary snacks. She is so funny. She relishes every bite and goes around her plate taking one bite of everything until she just can't take it anymore.

Nannie & Pop

A visit with Nan & Pop. W was there I just couldn't convince him to pose.

Chattanooga Trip

K playing in the huge play structure at the Creative Discovery Museum.

Relaxing on the brick couch.

Chattanooga Trip

Play at the water table at the Creative Discovery Museum. W could have stayed here for HOURS.

Walking over Tennessee River on the longest pedestrian bridge in the country.

Of course we had to stop to dig for dinosaurs....this is a favorite activity wherever we go.

Chattanooga Trip

W liked watching these fish in the garden at the Choo Choo. Who needs to pay $100 to go to the aquarium?

Never hard to get K to pose.

High above the ground....

Ballet Banquet 2009

Here is a picture of K as she poses before her "date" with dad. The annual Father/Daughter ballet banquet is something she has looked forward to for a long time. When we are not all together as a family, we naturally split between boys and girls. This is a great opportunity for B and K to catch up. G and W had a fun time as well. Per W's request, we ordered pizza (veggie for mom and sausage for W) and played Monopoly. Mom won this time!
