Valentine's Day!

A couple of days before Valentine's Day, I enjoyed pulling out all of the girls red and pink clothes and making outfits for them to wear.

 We made treats for Morgan and Charlotte's Valentine party at daycare. I'm not sure why but I absolutely love doing this kind of stuff!

They each got one gift. The below picture is of their treat bags they took to daycare and some crafts we did leading up to the holiday. 

 Charlotte opens her gift...

 She got a stuffed puppy.

 And Morgan got a light up pillow! She loves anything that lights up.

 Look closely and you can see Charlotte's first bad judgement call with crayons. I mean last bad judgement call, right? 

 The trees sure are pretty this time of year!

Very First Ponytail!

Back in January, Morgan asked for her first pony tail. I put it in and it was adorable watching her look at herself in the mirror. She loved it! Daniel and I were shocked by how much older she immediately looked.

Zoo Adventure!

We are fortunate to receive free tickets to the zoo courtesy of my work. We recently went and had a beautiful family day!

 It was early February and the zoo was decorated really cute for Valentine's Day.

 We loved the new sea lion exhibit!

 Poor Charlotte (and us) had just had a really rough week because little Charlotte fought a kidney infection all week. We all needed some fresh air but we kept Charlotte in her stroller so she could relax and continue to catch up on her rest.

 Charlotte did get to join in on the giraffe feeding this time though.

 Horns and pigtails. Morgan loves having her hair like this but we don't do it often because she's screams while you put them in. She apparently has a sensitive head! 

 Look at her grabbing the goat's ear below.

 She was kissing the lizard. 

 My daughter is turning into quite the little girl!

 We love this guy. While standing and looking at him, Morgan was telling me why this is a tortoise and not a turtle. I couldn't remember but my 4 year old knew. :)

Disney Princess on Ice!

We were again blessed with free tickets to a show! This time it was to see Disney Princess on Ice! I had been wanting to take Morgan to see this so bad but Daniel and I didn't think spending the money at the time was the best idea. Every time I'd drive by a billboard advertising the event, my stomach would churn a little with disappointment because I knew Morgan would love it. Two days before the show, my sister's step-daughter called offering her tickets because she couldn't go last minute. I was floored and so excited! We were especially grateful when we got there and realized the seats were 4 rows up from the floor. 

This is how Morgan looked as the show began. Priceless!

 My parents always used to spoil me with treats like cotton candy when we went to events like this so I couldn't resist doing the same for Morgan. She wore a crown and enjoyed some cotton candy while viewing the show. 

Morgan and I had a great time!
