Happy Valentine’s Day 2012!

Claire had a Valentine’s party at school. Mommy can Claire made the cupcakes for the party. Everyone loved them because they were delicious!

Alec and his Valentines.

We had a lot of fun on Valentine’s. Grandma and Pa came over and so did Grammy and Grampy. And Mommy and Daddy got to go out to dinner with their friend’s Jim and Sheri at the Beland Manor. It was a very fun Valentine’s day!

Snow Day!

We actually got snow on Monday, February 13th. And they didn’t close school so we played hooky because the snow was going to be gone by the end of the day.

Already to play . . . wait someone can’t wait to finish the picture!

Making a snowman. (We forgot to take a picture of them – we made two)

Claire’s making a snow angel!

Mommy did too. Mommy didn’t get to play in the snow last year so she couldn’t wait!

Making handprints.

Claire kept running around throwing snow in the air and say “Snow!”

For some reason this took some coaxing.

But it was a lot of fun to push all the snow!

We had a really fun snow day. We felt kind of sad for all of the kids at school that didn’t get to play in the best of the snow in the morning. Lucky Claire is young and can skip school and Mommy and Daddy were both home!

Happy Snow Day!

The Many Hairstyles of Alec Joseph

Mommy was playing with Alec’s hair the other night when she was washing the stars out of his hair after dinner.

The comb over. (It looked a lot more old mannish in person, this picture just looks like he is going to church).

Alfalfa.

Mohawk.

He was so cute and seemed to enjoy the fun. We’ll have to come up with some new ideas.

First Super Bowl

Alec watched some of his first Super Bowl with Daddy the other night.

Go Football!

New Boots!

Claire has been wanting boots for a while now to “jump in muddy puddles” a la Peppa Pig and we have all been looking for them for a while. So Grandma and Pa found some snow boots for her and it has been hard to get them off her feet since.

Claire with her boots.

Practicing jumping in her boots. Notice Alec has figured out how to get his socks off? One foot socked, one foot nakie.

Now lets just hope it snows soon . . .
