Happy Valentines Day!!
We had a fun start to our morning here. I surprised the girls with a little Valentines's Day gift on their placemats when they went downstairs for breakfast. Plus, Abby got bacon with her breakfast as part of her Valentine's Day, so she was a happy girl. For those of you who don't know, bacon is her favorite. Matt is going to go have lunch with her at school, so she is having a pretty good V-Day. Matt and I are having our V-Day date for lunch also after he has lunch (he's not actually going to eat) with Abby, since her lunch is at 10:50 (crazy, right?).
We just got back into town last night because this weekend was my sister's baby shower! Here are some highlights:
My sister, Melissa, and I
(but my family calls her Lissy)
My Mom, Me, and Lissy
I wrapped water bottles and cans with scrapbook paper to coordinate with Lissy's nursery theme (owls). She's having a boy, so we used blue and brown colors. It turned out pretty cute. Mom made triple salted caramel cupcakes. Yum. There is also a punch bowl there, and some yummy cookies.
We also had fruit, deviled eggs, and meatballs.
Lissy has LOTS of help opening presents from Nolan, Abby, and Lily.
Maybe TOO much help.
Abby and Lily playing with the wrapping to pass the time.
The shower was lots of fun, and it is always a great time to see family. It seems that we only see each other when there is a major life event.... weddings, births, graduations, funerals (unfortunately), etc. But we always have such a good time. We are all so excited to meet this new little boy who is joining our family.
