Daddy Date at Chuck E Cheese

AJ took the kiddos out for lunch and games at Chuck E Cheese.  They all had a great time!  I love how he schedules time to take just the two of them out to fun places.

Good Fortune in the Year of the Pig

Last night we went out to dinner and were surprised by a dragon dance for the new year.  I got to feed the dragon and bring good luck to us all.

 

Art Out Loud Date Night

We went to the Art Out Loud evening event at the Chrysler Museum which included drinks, interactive museum exhibits, a comedy tour of the galleries, and a burlesque show.  We rounded out the evening trying out a new tapas place.  It was a great date night!

AJ’s 36th Birthday and Ski Trip

We celebrated AJ’s 36th birthday a few days early with cake and presents (a NEW BIKE!) because we went on a ski trip (first time in 10 years) over his birthday weekend.  The kids got to learn the basics in ski school which they LOVED and had a great time.  AJ and I got a ‘day-date’ ski/snowboarding in the foggy mountains of VA including a relaxing lunch.  After their school we skied as a family for the rest of the day.  The kids did great their first time and Brooke did so well she went down a long green run twice, once with Daddy and once with Mommy.  Happy birthday AJ!

Brooke’s 1st Grade Christmas Party

Today Brooke had a fun party at her school instead of doing centers.  She had a lot of fun including making and eating Christmas cookies!
