Valentines weekend

We had a good LONG weekend! On Friday night we went to a social/dance at our church. There was babysitting provided there so we asked the kids if they wanted to stay home or go and they decided they wanted to go hang out with all the kids there. By the end of the night, all the kids ended up coming onto the dance floor! They had so much fun! We ended up bringing Aubrey's friend home with us for a sleep over. The next morning they had a "restaurant" all set up. They made whatever anyone wanted for breakfast! They had a lot of fun!

Every year we get the kids a stuffed animal for Valentines Day. Not that they NEED any more, but they get so excited about it and talk about what they will be getting weeks before! It is something they really look forward to!

Later that night James and I went out to dinner with our neighbors and some of their family. We went to this little Italian restaurant in Birmingham. It was really good! We had a great night!


I had been wanting a BIG clock and mirror for my living room, so James surprised me with that for Valentines Day!! I LOVE them!!!


Sunday night Jaymz slept over at Ryans (his friend from church) since there was no school on Monday.

Monday James invited a bunch of people over. He cooked Fajitas and they were SO good! He smokes them on the BBQ grill and they turn out so good!! Aubrey helped him all day get things ready! She made the 7 layer dip! She was SO proud! It was really good too!! :)

We had a good, fun, long weekend!!!

Why can't you live closer so we can hang out? You guys are always having a good time and I'm glad. I love the clock! I need help decorating and really like that. And what a good husband you have to cook (and enjoy it) and for you guys to always host get togethers. You'll be impressed I posted again :)

OK first and foremost, you look sooooo pretty on your date with James, Your are one hot mama! And second how cute is James to buy you that gorgeous clock and mirror, I love it when our men listen to us! And last, what cute parents you are to have a tradition of stuffed animals, even though you may feel like that is the last thing they need, it is the tradition of them that will linger forever! You rock!

I will be expecting James to cook when he is here and to invite anyone over that he wants. Maybe we will get to know some people once he gets here!!! I look forward Aubreys dip also!
