Leap Night!

Evening dining with a few of my favorites!
(missed you Annie and Mere!)

Homemade Ice-cream Intrigue!

Mini Chorus!

These little voices would melt your heart if you could hear them!
They sang three perfectly lovely songs!

(love the guy with his rain boots and hands tucked in his pockets!)

L*O*V*E !

Happy Valentines Day!

Sugar Cookies, Yum!

Our street is full of boys!
So naturally, we decided to have them all over for a Valentine Cookie Decorating party! It was super fun! A wonderful way to gather the neighbors in the winter months and send them home with tasty cookies to enjoy for the upcoming holiday!

Note the bites taken from the cookies above! :)

And all too soon it was over...
I think it will be a repeat in years to come!

Seattle Beach Day (in Feb) ?!

Seattle, we had a wonderful week of SUN!
I put off my weekly grocery shop for three days because I refused to miss a minute!
On the sixth day of sun, I woke up to CoCo's excitement. "It's still SO sunny! It's a beach day!" With a lunch packed, we went to the beach and three hours later I forced everyone back into the car despite protests. Amazing Day!

Reach up & soak it in, baby!

Clear blue skies!

Socks & Boots ditched for the sand.

Thankful for a week of therapy amidst the dreary winter days!

Ballet Performance!

We were able to attend CoCo's ballet class!
Each ballerina was delightful! I finally have a sense of why she asks if EVERY day is ballet... it was really really FUN!

Above is a sweet friend who held CoCo's hand and gave her courage to enter class on day one! Look at her balance!

... our little ballerina!
