we had a bit of a prolonged valentine's weekend this year. since we knew we'd be busy with family, we decided to have a special valentine's dinner with our family on friday night.
we did some grilling, so we were all outside for a bit. we ate pepperoni/cheese appetizers on toothpicks that were absolutely thrilling to the boys.
we have a little boy who lives next door named wyatt. he and cody have discovered a little knothole to peak through and talk to each other. doesn't everyone need a friend through the fence?
bonnie likes swinging, but she was so happy when isaac started to push her.
we made it an extra special dinner with a tablecloth and flowers....and our whimsical name plates. ryan got some martinelli's - which the boys didn't like much and we ate steak, asparagus, and roasted potatoes/sweet potatoes.
and delicious chocolate dipped strawberries and pretzels, courtesy of cody and isaac dipping.
we spent the morning on saturday getting ready for grandma and grandpa to get here. bonnie has discovered that she can push the lid off the dress-up barrel, so we sometimes get her all dressed up. she loved her tutu.
grandma and grandpa ushered us out the door for a date almost as soon as they got here. we went out for chinese at bing's and chiller bee for dessert. the kids spent the time we were away creating quite the track on the driveway - complete with ocean.
bonnie finally pulled out her fancy dress for sam's baby blessing. she looked so cute, so i had to take a few pictures. i always forget how many bad pictures it takes to get a good one of a not-quite-one-year-old.
with grandma around, i even got a picture with my beautiful girl :)
it was so fun to be able to go to sam's blessing. between our two families, we've blessed three babies since moving to texas, but only one in the state of texas. lily was blessed in utah and bonnie in arizona. sam is the first of my side of the family that we've been able to go to a blessing for.
we're sure going to miss being so close to david's family!!
