Happy Valentines Day!

My husband and kids returned from errands last night with these - LOVELY! They will beautify the table for the next week or so. I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day and can spend it with someone you love!

Has Spring Sprung???

We had several days of spring-like weather last week (50s andf 60s) and took advantage of it and got outside. Katherine was at school, so there's no pictures of Katherine, but Christopher and Elizabeth enjoyed it, as you can see. Christopher, I'm convinced, would be happy to spend every waking hour outside if he could. I'm ready for spring. It's been a cold winter, and unfortunately it's back to 3os and low 40s this week.

Christopher's Birthday

Christopher's birthday was last Friday and we had some friends and family over on Saturday for a little party - a tractor party. Here's the cake that I made, with the help of a great tractor cake pan!Christopher had fun opening his presents...and Elizabeth was just DYING to help him - she tried very hard to be patient, but eventually just HAD to help.

Going along with the theme of the party, Christopher got several tractors, big and small, and was thrilled with them, as you can see.

He enjoyed listening to us sing him "Happy Birthday"...

and even clapped for us when we were done singing! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Christopher - we can't believe that you are 2! OH, and by the way, he went to the doctor on Monday and is 32 lbs, 6 oz (90%tile) and 37-3/4 inches (99+%tile). He's very healthy, and for that we are thankful!
