The Fighter's

"Spread Love everywhere you go.  Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier."                                                                                                                      -Mother Theresa 3 of my Loves on Valentines day...so cheerful:-) I got to volunteer in Ava's class for the party.  Here is the crew - so adorable!

A beautiful run through crazy snow piles (thankfully I did not slip and fall...almost...but I managed to stay on my two feet)!  I love the crunch of snow and ice under my feet.  Some of my favorite Napa wine... A cozy night making homemade chocolate covered popcorn.  YUM!

Tuesdays are an off day for me - and I love them!  My Tuesdays always include a whole day of one on one time with this girl...and they usually include what has come to be our favorite Tuesday lunch during this cold winter...broccoli cheese soup from Panera.  Yum! And today we experimented with the craft we're bringing in for Ava's Valentine party.  Mason jars covered in hearts - to make cute little candle holders.  Simple but fun.  Olivia was a great helper!

This winter has been incredible.  Record cold temps - and record snow fall!  This has become a regular site... But at least the girls are making memories with all the weather and snow... And I love love love my view from my kitchen window...my favorite viewing spot in the whole wide world. And it is beautiful to say the very least....(no...we have not gotten all our lights down and it's February.  Don't judge!). And then you have grandpa's who try and build a skating rink in their backyard for grand kids to enjoy.  Love it! And through the cold and snow...this girl is still thinking sun and beach...napping in her sundress when it's 0 degrees outside:-)

Girls had fun making a fort (and a mess!)...
