Playing Catch-Up... February Edition

Honestly,

I don't know

where February went.

It's a busy month for our family,

so I have to do a

"better late than never" post

just for the sake of

Family History.

We celebrated Valentine's Day

at breakfast this year

because we had a birthday dinner date

with Grandma in the evening.

Everyone got their traditional

books and candy to celebrate the love day.

Matthew is a recent convert to the world of Tom Clancy,

Adam is trying a new series,
and Camille is starting on one of my all-time favorites!

The evening was topped with a
delicious dinner to celebrate my mom's
big day...
you know, the one she wasn't celebrating!
Happy Birthday, Mom.
You're the greatest!
Our kids were furloughed from school
on the week of President's Day
(in case you haven't heard - our state is broke!!),
and so we gathered together these friends...
and spent the day at this place.

What a great idea!

The next week was my birthday,

and it was a lovely week!

I got to go out to lunch a couple of times

with some dear friends,

and then I got this beauty of a gift from my in-laws.

A book all about why I am so loved.

No one has better in-laws than I do.

Period.

And the favorite moment of my actual birthday??

Another dear friend remembered

that I loved dried mangoes,

so she brought me some.

And look what I found in the package...

Perfect!!

Matt and Adam spent my birthday weekend

snow camping.

They had a great time,

except that Adam came home with this beauty.
I guess everything can't go smoothly all the time.

Near the end of the month

we celebrated the baptism

of a very special cousin.

Aren't these two adorable???

Afterwards we stopped to visit Grandpa Sanders.

He and Camille got into a little argument

over the delay of our food,

but they soon made up,

and like any good girl would,

she picked the bugs out of his hair

to show him just how much she loved him!!

And then to top the month off,

we celebrated Adam's birthday.

He got a bag of his favorite candy

and a new party game from us,

and Matt and Camille each got him

a new t-shirt.

We spent the evening with family

where Adam collected some new

ammunnition for extended nerf wars

and a new basketball

from his cousins.

All in all, it was a great day-

and a fabulous month!

Hope your February was great as well!
