Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s day started with heart shaped pancakes cards and gifts.  Both Brooke and Alex were excited to exchange Valentine’s with their classmates.  Brooke handmade us all personal Valentine’s and Alex made her a Valentine at school with the help of his teachers.

Family Aquarium Trip

The kiddos have been asking to visit the Aquarium so today while they were off school and AJ was home we went and explored.

Kite-flying Fun

We had a nice and windy day today and decided to fly our kite at the park.

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!
