Happy Valintimes!

Yesterday when I opened Bray's backpack after school. He had two 'Val-o-grams.' These are cute little cards that you can buy and have delivered to the students at his school. One was from his teacher, the other from someone named Taylor. The message she wrote said "Happy Valintimes." At parent-teacher conference I commented on this to Ms. Warnick. She said that Taylor is a regular ed. fourth grade student who comes in during her recesses to help in their class. She had used her own money to buy each of the students a Val-o-gram. I don't know that Brayden even noticed, but it sure brightened my day!!

New Year's Eve with the Family

Happy New Year

This year we had Teri's parents over to celebrate with us. Of course, since our kids are young and wear us out, we called it quits before 11:00, but we had a blast anyway. Andraia's favorite part of the night was telling everyone to "Go Fish!" We played Book of Mormon Go Fish with Nana and Poppy, and she loved it when you had to take another card.

We also broke in Spencer's Disney Pictionary DVD Game. He is a great artist! But, of course, nobody beats the DVD animation! We had a great time trying to recall different characters and titles from Disney productions! Andraia 'drew' with her own marker and had the blue hands to prove it at the end of the night.

Brayden and Chloe just enjoyed hanging out with their Nana and Poppy. It wouldn't have been nearly as fun without them!
