{iPhone Rewind} :: February

The men's ministry hosted a chili cook-off, and Mike was excited to submit an entry!

I don't know how he's comfortable, but he sits like this ALL the time...

41: birthday signs, cookie cake, homemade cards, vouchers for mommy getaways, brunch with sweet ministry women, lunch at McAlister's, ice cream samplers, birthday messages, adorable handmade gifts from talented friends

Family game night started with Jenga :)

The girl is obsessed with bacon

Enjoying the warm up before another round of snow

Celebrating Chinese New Year!

We had the good kind of snow- enough to build a giant snowman!

Valentine Love

I love that our kids love Valentine's Day, and that they get excited about celebrating each other. They are starting to take more ownership of making their own cards, writing their own notes for Mike and I, as well as each other. And it's just the sweetest thing.

We don't do a ton for Valentine's Day, but I do try to find them small things to tell them how much we love them. It usually includes chocolate and Dollar Tree finds. I love that that they still get excited about coloring books and simple crafts {and Yoto cards are still a big win for us!}  :)

The kids made sweet cards for me and Mike, and they even made cards for each other. Mike surprised me with another pair of Celtic knot earrings from Brighton, and we enjoyed breakfast-for-dinner as a special way to wrap up our Valentine's Day as a family.

I'm so thankful for ALL of my sweet Valentines :)
