Snow!

We had lots of small snow storms this year but again it was super cold so we had snow on the ground for about 6 weeks

Happy Valentines Day and Lost Tooth

I set out some goodies for the kids and they each got a new costume - 

Hannah got her favorite - Ezra!

Sam set up an ice tea station for me - lol

Instead of heart shaped pizza we made a tooth shaped pizza since Sam lost tooth #2

The other tooth was already up behind it!

I made candy crush sugar scrub for the teachers

Th tooth fairy had red wings this time and left some coins for Sam!

This year Sam made Valentines for everyone - my heart grew 2 sizes today!

and we had fondue

Happy Birthday Mom

Mom was heading to Florida so we came down for a quick visit and party for her birthday.

While she was outside with the kids we set up a little surprise

Queen for the day!

Aruba

When I woke up ready to fly out to Aruba thats what I saw!

OMG I had flashbacks to 5 yrs ago when I went and the same thing happened!

Lucky my flight was only delayed about 45 mins (to de-ice the plane) and soon enough I had a much better view!

All the same creatures were there

those little guys were hermit crabs - everywhere!

I had a blast spending time with my mom, sleeping in and relaxing by the water

This bread was amazing!!!

The view leaving the resort and heading to the private island

What an amazing trip!

Happy New Year - 2015!!!

So happy for a new year and a new beginning!

I think its going to be a great year for us but ask me again in 364 days - ha!

Sam wanted to stay up until midnight so bad but I told him he had to wait until he was 10!

Instead we had a Happy Noon Day party!

I made a balloon holder for the ceiling and at 12pm we pulled the string!

Add in some confetti poppers

and a toast and we have a party!!

Speaking of party - 

Happy Birthday Mark!!

Sam decorated the cake

Sam showing Daddy the completed AT-AT

He did about 95% by himself - great job Sam!
