Best Month Ever (February, of course!)

I joke that I don't bother to diet during February because there are too many celebrations.  Between Valentine's Day and birthdays (me and Nathan two weeks apart), it feels like we are constantly eating. This year that held true for sure. As always, the month started out with - a snow storm! We got 14" of snow! (Ok, trying to be enthusiastic about this but, let's be honest, I hate winter.)  Chloe had two snow days in a row so there was a lot of family time, and a lot of shoveling! 

Next came the celebrations!

Nathan and I went out to eat for a late birthday lunch at a Thai restaurant and then celebrated Valentine's Day at The Cheesecake Factory. 

40th birthday selfie!

For the month of February, I lead out with the crafts for Cradle Roll. I went with a "love" theme for the crafts :) 

 Some more randoms...

Megan and I are twinsies! 

My friend Katie brought her daughter, Jordan, for a visit.  The girls LOVE babies so they were beyond excited to see her.  They talked about her for days afterward. Now whenever Chloe is trying to tell me someone has red hair she says, "They had hair like baby Jordy." LOL. Katie made some play dough for them and they had a blast making spaghetti and meatballs with it. 

It was super cold all month so when we went from -30 to +30 (a 60 degree difference!) we decided to go sledding on the new toboggan (grandpa and grandma came with us). The girls had a blast. Good thing momma in all her wisdom made them come in because it was way cold on that hill!

We got to have lunch with my family at Olive Garden. It's always great to see everyone between big family events (well, we were missing part of the group!).

Chloe's "100 days of school" project for her preschool party. She was so proud!

We ended the month with a birthday treat for Nathan. We made chocolate lava cakes with ice cream and strawberries. Yum! Yum! 

Obviously, February was way better than January. Lots of fun, food, and love :)
