February 2010

A few moms in the ward and I threw together a fun Valentines day party for the kids a few days before V-Day, and it was a big success. I wish I had pics of it, but Abby loved giving and receiving Valentines cards, it was all really cute. Even better was that it began snowing soon after (which NEVER happens in LA), and dumped enough for Abby and Nate to go out and build a snow man! Great times!! The best part was that they canceled 2 days of school due to it, and since they had a 3 day break for Mardi Gras the next week, Nate was able to enjoy a (much-needed) week off :)
We had a nice family V-Day dinner at Olive Garden, and Nate made me an amazing dinner on Sunday - it was a great holiday :)
On Fat Tuesday, Feb. 16th, we went to the family-style Mardi Gras parade in Shreveport, it was freezing cold, but sooo fun and entertaining, and by the end of the parade, Abby was wearing 12 necklaces proudly :) It was a fun family outing, and we'll definitely be making it a tradition. Since it's been such a cold winter, we decided to install Abigail's swing indoors, and she's absolutely loved it :)
