February 2014

The girls have had such a nice month! We have had an incredible amount of winter weather, ranging from bitter cold to ice storms to heavy snow... needless to say, we've been home more than we've been anywhere else!  They have loved the special time to snuggle and drink hot chocolate and play in the snow.  They also both adored the Valentine's parties that were held at each girl's school. Emily had her annual friends party and sleepover to celebrate Vday and Paul and I attended a Bengals playoff game to celebrate his birthday.  It's been a great month!

 Snow much fun! :)

We had amazing seats- 50 yard line (almost) and 8 rows up! 

Cruise 2013

We enjoyed a FABULOUS vacation on the Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas last week!  The girls had an amazing time and I think Emily truly enjoyed getting to spend her birthday on vacation!!  Here's some pics from the trip.

Emily's 6TH Birthday Party!!!!!

 Sweet Emily had a GREAT birthday party today! Because of our cruise later this month, we had her party early and she shared her special day with 2 other friends (bringing our total parties this weekend to FOUR, if we make them all!)  She had it at a local gymnastics place and picked her Barbie theme out months ago.  All the  kids had a super fun day and we are thankful she spent her special day with all of them.  Happy birthday, Emmy girl!

 

Back home- present time!!! :)

 

Bringing in snack on her last day at school before the cruise- she chose doughnuts and chocolate milk.. Yum! 

 

 

Audrey is 3 Years Old!

      We've spent the past few days celebrating Audrey's 3rd birthday- such a fun weekend! We had her party at the local bounce house place on Saturday morning and she felt soooo special in her new necklace, shirt and tutu.  She played so hard with her friends and family members who came to the party.  Thanks everyone who made her weekend so great!
