Happy New Year AND Valentine's Day!

Cary and I spent our 5 YEAR Anniversary at the Dallas Stars' game on New Year's Eve!
Thanks to our friends, Brody and Julie Hildebrand, it was a really fun and special night. Thanks for the tickets!!

Our friends Jon and Sue Abel came too.
Thanks to my Mom (Mimi), the boys got to celebrate NYE too at our house.
She brought a helium balloon tank, and when we got home our ceiling was covered with balloons! Most of them were Buzz and Woody balloons.
The first week in January, Cary and I spent a night at the Mansion for our anniversary!



Jaron went with Mimi to Chuck E Cheese.
Here is a picture he drew of a spider. I thought it was pretty good for a 3-year-old!

Here's my little Elijah sitting in a little chair at our friend Alex's house.
Jaron decided to borrow Alex's Elmo costume for the duration of our playdate there.
Then....it snowed. And snowed and snowed....No school for several days!


Jaron and I actually made snow ice cream. It was good. I'm serious. It was a fun little project for us!
Here is Jordan reading a book to the little boys on one of the snow days.
Even though it was snowing, we could still make it to Northpark mall. Elijah wanted the Build-a-Bear store to open!


Finally it did! And Mimi got Jaron and Elijah Build-a-Bears. Actually, Jaron's was a Build-an-Abominable-Snowman ("Mr. Bumble").

Elijah got an Owl, one of his favorite animals. He likes to make the sound "whoo! whoo!"

Here are Elijah and Mr. Bumble looking out the window at Cary, Jaron and Jordan making a snowman.
Snowday! Time to break out some costumes....

Snowday! Time to break out about 150 plastic balls to roll all over our house!



Here is Elijah with Batman, or "Matmaaaaa!" as he calls him.

Here is Jordan giving Jaron a Spiderman Valentine for Valentine's Day.
I made heart-shaped waffles...not too yummy, but very cute! I think we prefer my misshapen pancakes. :)

Jaron and Elijah giving Valentines to Daddy.


Jordan's Valentine's Day stash... I love Valentine's Day!
Here's Jaron with an Alvin and the Chipmunks coloring book and a Wheezy stuffed penguin.
Elijah got some things too!

Here are some cute pictures from Jaron's Valentine's Day party at preschool. I was in charge of the craft this time...I'm not too crafty, but it turned out pretty cute. The kids made little Valentine's boxes and decorated them with stickers.

Check this out..top one on the right side...this was hanging up outside the preschool classroom. So sweet!
His brothers decorated him. A little Valentine baby!
This year we went to a Cirque del Soleil show and took Jordan and Jaron. They really liked it!

Here is Elijah playing with his little kitchen we got him for Christmas. We actually gave it to him during one of the snowdays and it was great!
Elijah loves books!
Here are Jaron and Elijah wearing their t-shirts that Cary's Dad got them when he was in Turkey in November. They are from Istanbul. Thanks Baw-Paw!


It started warming up, and we went to the Arboretum.

Elijah and his muffin.

Yay! We can go outside again! Let's paint!

And play in the sandbox with our friends!
