Where did January go?

O.K. so I have totally been neglecting my blogging duties.  Not sure where January (and February for that matter) went.  I know we had a great month.  Even got an extra day over MLK & Presidents Day.  But it just kind of got away from me.  For MLK day, I got to take Lily to her first ever movie at the movie theatre.  I thought Chris would be the one to do this, but since I had an extra holiday, we made a girls day of it.  Although, I'm not sure "Wreck It Ralph" qualifies as a girls date.  We didn't make it through the entire show, but had a good time none the less.

During February we had friends over and decorated a lot of Valentine's Day cookies.  Lily and her friend Gianna had a great time.  They were definitely the cutest little bakers in the world.

 For President's Day it was another Mommy/Lily day.  We went downtown for the day, even took the metro.  Had some lunch and then went to Disney on Ice.  I think she had a great time.

 

 Another play date in February for Lily with her buddy Lluc.  They had a very fun time at Chuck E. Cheese (on a weeknight thank goodness).  And they were so proud of themselves for climbing clear up in the slide.

Finally just a few pictures from Kim.  I got to go on a tour of our Nation's Capitol building last Friday.  Someone who knows someone in one of the Montana Senators office.  It was fun to see the inside of all the Senate buildings, ride the underground Senate trains that take you to the Capitol and between the Senate buildings, and get an insider look into the Capitol.  We even got to see the Senate floor, although Senate was on recess unfortunately.  What an amazing building!

This is inside the Senate Rotunda.  Up at the very top under the mural there is a walkway.  Only Senators & Representatives along with their wives or invited guests have access to this walkway.  

This next picture is where the House of Representatives used to hold session.  There is a whisper point in this room where you can hear someone whisper from clear across the room even when it is terrible loud.  Some weird freak accoustical thing.  Apparently John Adams used to eavesdrop on other's conversations this way.
