Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day started early this year for Barrett.  He had Pink Day and a Valentine's Party at school. It was his first  year to make Valentine's for his friends, and he was SO EXCITED!

 All Ready to Go

Class Party

 Sisters Dressed in Pink Too!

 Pinkalicious Cuties

Valentine's Day morning, Barrett helped Daddy with cards for his sisters.

This Little Stinker Loves a Gift ....

 .... But Not As Much As Her Sister!

Despite Mommy catching Barrett's cold, and missing out on our morning activities, we went out for a fun lunch with the kiddos:

 My Stud-Muffin Valentine

Daddy's Girl

Mommy's Girl

And then Daddy made everyone a yummy steak dinner!  It was definitely the first steak dinner the twins ever had, and they LOVED it!  Twinkies: always go for the guy that has a pure heart, loves Jesus, and knows how to grill a steak.  Just a little advice from Mommy to you :)

 Happy Boy

Too Busy Eating to Stop for a Picture

And Valentine's Cupcakes for Everyone!

We love our little Valentines!  

Zoo Family Field Trip!

The weather was so pretty today, we couldn't stay inside.  So we put on our shades ....

... and headed to the zoo

Cuties

They're So Excited!

It's family tradition to take a picture on the elephant each time we go.

Such A Big Boy Now

She's A Little Unsure About This

And Parks Wanted No Part Of It!

Barrett Photo Bombed Our Pic to Show Her How It's Done

One Last Try By Herself

The rest of the time there, we just explored!

It's Good to Have a Big Brother Who Can Show You Cool Stuff

It's Even Better to Have a Daddy Who Can Lift You Up So You Can See!

Elephants and Their Babies

The hit of the day was the reptiles, amphibians, and fish.  All three kids were mesmerized!
