Week 1 {February 14th-February 21st}

{February 14th}

Valentine's Day breakfast with Daddy at MiMi's Cafe

{February 15th}

Planned a friendship party with my small group friends. Posing like this for a picture is not out-of-character for me at all, I hope that 'character' doesn't embarrass the kids too bad when they're teenagers...maybe by then I will mature;)



{February 16th}

Ava snuck my camera into her fort made out of sheets and snapped about 10 pictures just like this of Lily.

Lily enjoying a left-over from Ava's party,
She would yell 'GO!' when she tossed it up and then chase after it.

Getting some giggles out while playing a game on a rainy day.






{February 20th}
Stayed out a little late at Target spending Ava's birthday cash so we stopped for dinner at El Pollo Loco. Elijah paid for his own meal with a ziploc baggie full of coins and somehow convinced the lady working to slip 2 extra drumsticks in! Lily was so tired and was just looking at Avery and I across the table like this, you could tell she knew she looked cute...her personality is coming through more and more everyday...reminds me a lot of her brother!

{February 21st}

Ava turned 5 today! We celebrate as a family by going to build-a-bear and icecream. I was singing all day "Ava is the birthday bird, doo-dah doo-dah, she is now a 5 year old doo-dee-doo-dah-day!" Elijah finally asked me to please stop. Avery kept putting wigs on Lily and she would just sit stiff and not even try and pull them off, it was too funny!
