Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!!!!! This morning started out with a special Valentines breakfast...complete with festive yummies. The girls were super excited today and Nana also came over to spend the day with us!! We love you Nana!

The girls had some fun in the snow and enjoyed the fresh air and warmer weather!!!!!!!!!!! Amen!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Grandma Ro came over and had our annual "Sweetheart Valentine's Dinner" with us! Grandma and I enjoyed cooking and celebrating an extra special day together as family. Here the girls took a quick pose with Grandma Ro! Can you pick out the wild child in this picture?!?!?!?!??! (It's definately Ahnya!)
