Happy Valentine's Day and Happy 100th Day!

Here are my three littlest valentines on Valentine's Day!

Riley had a fun party at school to celebrate! Here is a class picture from his party.

Naomi and I made heart cookies together...

Here are the beautiful roses Brad got for me....gorgeous. Naomi and daddy also made me breakfast in bed and homemade Valentines- it was soooo sweet! (especially since I had to spend half the day at the dentist - ugh! they knew just how to brighten my day)

Daddy got a flower for Naomi too!
At the end of the week, the kids and I went into Riley's class for their 100th day of school celebration! They had pizza and cake and the kids recited a poem and song and did a lot of counting for us along with a scavenger hunt for 100 hershey kisses!

We went out to dinner that night too to continue the celebrations! (and because we were probably beat and didn't want to cook...you know those nights!)

Christmas with Papa and Nana

Brad's parents were able to come Monday and Tuesday so we could celebrate Christmas with them and they could be here for Elijah's first birthday as well. Here are a few pictures from our visit together.

Trip to the mall to get ice cream and ride the train

Attending the Christmas chapel at Riley's school. The kindergarten played Little Drummer Boy for us. They had a field trip afterward to sing for the nursing home residents down the street.

Opening gifts! The kids LOVED their cameras from Papa and Nana. I have 2 budding photographers on my hands :).

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Ok so I am a little behind at posting photos, but I'm going to try and catch up through the end of October and hit some of the highlights. This month I joined Riley and his class on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. It was a nasty day to go -- cold, windy, and rainy - but the kids had a blast, and the adults bundled up and hunkered down as much as possible under the umbrellas. Here are a few photos from the class trip!
