Love day!

We had a fun Valentine's day. Nora had too many outfits so this is her Valentine's Eve outfit


We started with our annual playgroup party.  It was fun to exchange valentines with the friends (and play of course).


 Here are the girls adorable coordinating outfits...






 Nora enjoyed watching all the big kids play.  There were 10 big kids plus 2 newborns so we had a packed house!

 Blair held the gate for all her friends to go up on her own.  It was such a proud Mommy moment as we have been talking about holding doors and stuff for others and she does it all the time now.
 Nora got in on the action and played with the other kids, she loved it.
 One Mommy made these cute Valentine mailboxes.

 Blair liked the Valentines candy...
 One of our best group pictures yet!

 After everyone was gone the girls got to open their Valentine gifts.  I know it is over the top to do presents but I  just love Holidays and it is fun and why not?!

When we asked Blair what she was hoping was inside (she didn't even know she was getting a present until that moment) she said, "I hope it's a Frozen Dress!" and I breathed a sigh of relief because it WAS!  She was so happy!


 Nora got some books and the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs little people set.  She always goes for Snow White so we think that is her favorite.



We took Blair to see Frozen... for the forth time... in her dress!  So spoiled; but it was fun and she loved it!


Nora was with Auntie Janae while we were gone and they had fun too.


Blair took a nice nap in her dress, haha

Blair and I made Valentine hats for all of us.  Dad thought we were doing a "Nora Face" Picture but we weren't...
 Love my family!
 Now let's do the Nora face!  ok Blair... maybe not.
 Such a sweet girl!

 Nora had fun attacking Winston, he is such a spaz and afraid of her but she just loves him and Penny.

Daddy surprised us with this ice cream cake... Blair was so excited.


And the next day Nora had her THIRD Valentine's Day outfit!


What a fun holiday, We have a lot to love!!!

THE face

This is Nora's favorite new face.  She does it randomly but also to say no to something like food or her nose being wiped.  It is HILARIOUS! She does it all.the.time.

Phone Dump

Blair is back in swim lessons and loving it.  
 She is also back in ballet class and doing great.  She is following directions so well.   She loves to go!




 She got these fake teeth in a party goody bag, she thought it was so funny!  Mommy did too!  I will save this one for future boyfriends for sure!


 Graham was over to play and Blair made him get in the box... he wasn't thrilled


Mommy's shoes!

 ALL decked out in her accessories... gloves, rings, tiaras, necklace and bracelet!

Building Lego beds for the little people

 She painted for a long time on her easel.  We just print out pictures and she paints them in addition to her own creations.
 Working on Valentines for her friends.

Deep in contemplation.

 gnawing on a chicken leg!
 The tongue!

 Chuck E Cheese with Graham and Mimi


Little darling

Sometimes when she wakes up early from a nap daddy will go rock with her for a while to get her to sleep longer.  I think they both have a tough time relaxing in there.
 Happy to be playing at the mall.

 Playing peekaboo with the scarf at storytime.
 Blair likes to push her around in there and Nora is thrilled with it!  They both laugh.
 Such a pretty girl!
 Riding the carousel at the mall with our friends.
 Feeding herself her bottle.. she isn't really good at it though but we try and it is so cute looking.

 "The Tinkerbell dress will fit her!" says Blair who is dying to have Nora wear a dress too

 Riding the horse!  I swear Nora likes it even though it doesn't look like it here.
