Dress up!!!

Nola was just LOVING to play dress up. We didn't have any dress up clothes, so we just let her get stuff out of our closet. We had way too much fun doing this!

Valentines Day!

Spur of the moment, Doug and I decided we'd have a fun little family night and have a Valentines party. We got some decorations from the dollar store and had fun decorating the house. For dinner, we got Little Ceaser's. Just Nola and I ran into town to pick it up and I was reminded how wonderful it is to do thing one-on-one with the kids. Nola is growing up so fast! She was so polite, well behaved and helpful while getting the pizza. GG and Auntie Sarah & Uncle AJ, sent the kids some valentines presents in the mail and they were so excited to open them! We had a great night together as a family, so much that when Nola was interviewed for the Primary Spotlight at church, she said "I love my family because we have Valen-times parties!"

For Valentines Day, Dougie and I got a sitter and we went to the Presidents Ball at the Lethbridge West Stake. It was AWESOME!! They had a big band and we got to dance. I can't remember the last time I got to dance with my hubby :) It was a great night!

Oh, how he grows!
