February Fun

Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day we had 3 of Chad's siblings and their families and also Chad's parents here to visit. We had a dinner with mostly pink items and played games and visited a lot. The day before, we celebrated a birthday - Shaun, Chad's brother - complete with a train cake and pinata.

A week before the holiday, we all decorated jars for others to put nice thoughts and notes into. Chad's parents were here to help out after Azure's birth, so they had a jar too.

Grandma and Grandpa making Valentine's sugar cookies with the boys. The kids ate about half the dough, so we had to make three batches.

Kite Flying

While my mom was here for Azure's birth, she got each of the boys a kite. Kayden had been monitoring the wind daily in anticipation of being able to fly it, so we finally found the right day.

Boston was very excited to go kite flying, but once we got there, he nicely asked if it was ok if he just played in the sand/dirt. If you refer to my post about sledding, the same kind of thing happened. He'd rather be digging!
