Sledding for President's Day!

We had so much fun sledding! 

It was very cold- but Callan loves it until the very end when he took his gloves off

Elles hated it-- she went down once- got a face full of snow and didn't emotionally recover u til we were back in the car, she was wearing Uncle Josh's hat and I was blowing her fingers to warm them (the way my dAd used to)

Callan was a trooper- but didn't want to hike up the hill any more- so Jason sledded to grab him

Cavan actually really liked it-- except that his snowsuit is tight and he couldn't move around the way he wanted to!

Ellie's angry face

Emmy had the best time ever

Such a fun fun time

Preschool day!

Preschool day!!! 

There were only 5-- which with the boys makes 7... Waaaay better than 11(as it was last time) 

We colored Robots -- and mixed rainbow frosting- baked sugar cookies- decorated them- colored rainbows and rain clouds, practiced writing "R" and sang tons of songs

It was a fun fun day!

Monday Mardi Gras at the Liffereth house!

We had the best night!!

There was a dance party-- that wanted to be a parade for just a minute

Bead throwing and grabbing and wearing 

Emmy super loved the bead grabbingn part

Really a lot of dance partying

Delish and I mean delish king cake and 

Mask making 

Lots of beńet making

Oak the wolf

More mask making-- it's not limited to one!

Yep- he's crawling into an oven

And general noisemaking merriment was everywhere. Truly nothing but fun to be had by all!

Valentine's 2015

On Valentine's Day Jason had to work-- so I got to make his roses with 4 little helpers-- so there was a little of that.

- little of flowers-- which I'm in love wirh1 so so gorgeous

I little jamberry action 

A lot of this-- destruction all around

Even more of this-- cry cry cry

Lots of snuggles 

And just a ton of love

(Wrong end)

So all in all it was a success 

The night ended with the worlds best sugar cookies (swig copy cat) - retry darn good.

Valentine's Eve

Jason was on call-- which just means that he has to carry a pager all night long and may or may not be on the phone-- 

Valentine's eve-- mostly on the phone

We went to the store and got ice cream to eat with chocolate sauce and flour to make sugar cookies 

I also sold out Santa Fe-- it was so sad to see my favorite car to date go. But we needed the money so that part was great! 

I was headed toward the check out-- and looked in the cart- and found 11 lbs of bacon-- how Callan snuck that in- I'll never know
