February 14: Happy Valentine's Day

We celebrated a little bit on Valentine's Day at our house (but saved most of the fun until Feb. 15). I remember, as a child, my mom making us shaped sandwiches for our school lunches on holidays. It was fun to have something different on these special days and I have been trying to continue the tradition here. For birthdays, the birthday child gets a birthday cake shaped sandwich, for Christmas we had gingerbread boy sandwiches, and on Valentine's day we had heart sandwiches.

February 13: Dolls

Recently we got Luci's doll cradle out of her room and brought it downstairs. The girls have been crazy about dolls ever since. They spend their days changing diapers, dressing babies, feeding them bottles, and taking them on imaginary trips.

February 12: Buddies

I asked Luci if she likes having Sullivan as a little brother and she immediately replied "nope." So I asked if she would rather it just be her and she said "yeah, me and a puppy!" However, I'm not convinced, because every morning when she wakes up, the first thing she does is give her brother hugs and plays with him. She loves to show him his toys and she'll just talk to him for the longest time.

February 11: Morgan's Birthday Party

On Saturday we headed to St. Cloud to celebrate Morgan's birthday with her. We enjoyed playing, eating cake, and watching Morgan open presents. The girls are best buddies!

February 10: Happy Birthday Morgan!

Happy Birthday Morgan! On February 10, 2009, Morgan entered our family. We are so happy to have Luci's cousin so close in age and not too far in distance either. Morgan spent her first 4 months at our house while Laura took care of both girls during the day and they've been best buddies ever since. Morgan is a sweet, spunky 3 year old and we can't wait to see what each day brings for her!
