Another winter fun weekend filled with friends

This weekend we were joined by friends Don, Holly, Sam and Chloe and then John, Karen and Katie to have a full weekend of relaxing and fun.  There were games, cute dogs, movies, food and loads of just hanging out and having fun.  It was one of the first weekends we had nothing planned in a long time and one of the first weekends we actually fully relaxed!  Amazing I know.

Girl Scout Cookie Throw Down

This Thursday we were lucky enough to attend a "free" Girl Scout Cookie Throw Down where we got to sample more desserts made with Girl Scout cookies than I thought possible.  Our neighbor Donna joined us.  And then we met other neighbors there for a fun filled evening.  Plus Lily even earned a girls scout badge.

Science Fair

We were so proud of Lily for participating in her first Science Fair. 

Winter Fun

Sometimes you can imagine warm weather if you enjoy the sun (in the indoor pool) and eat enough warm hot chocolate.  We had a great weekend enjoying all our friends.  We even had a Sunday night fondue party to wrap up a fantastic weekend.

Hanging out with friends

February has been the month of friends, friends and more friends.  Movies, bowling, trampoline jumping, etc.  We got a few stolen days were we could head outside, but there was definitely some quality time inside having party after party.  Yep, Lily is a sucker for a party... and boy does she have a way of suckering me into every weekend.  Add sitting outside at four or five cookie booths and it was nearly enough to send me to the looney bin.  Definitely not a boring life.

Why not go to the beach in February

Yes, it was a little chilly, but the sun was out so why not head to the beach.

Valentine Cookie Making

While we had lots of help making cookies, cupcakes and cakes for Valentines Day... these girls still put me to the test with some heart shaped macaroons.  But boy did everyone have a lot of fun (and a lot of goodies to take home).
