HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.

Valentine's weekend in Las Vegas seems like the perfect time to go see some snow and remember what winter feels like.  Or maybe we just wanted to reminisce.  Remember the pregnant snow lady we made a couple of years ago?  Well, this year we were a little too late in the season.  Packing the snow was like trying to pack piles of dust. 

Here's Brandon's attempt at throwing a snowball.



We did manage to make these little guys though.



See the family resemblance? 

And here's a little peak at our Valentine's decor.  I fell in love with this coffee filter garland and wanted to make it at Christmas time.  No worries though, it fits Valentine's Day better anyway.  It makes me think of cupcakes all day long. 

Wishing you all a Happy day!

Paisley typically spends a couple hours a day looking at books.  I know, I'm super lucky.  One of my goals for the new year is to request picture books for Paisley before making a trip to the library.  (We can request books online and in a couple of days they'll have them ready for us.  Does your library do that?)  It has been the best goal ever.  Paisley loves the variety and I've found some amazing books that weren't around when I was a kid. 

These are my absolute favorites so far:

In a Blue Room by Jim Averbeck
How to Make an Apple Pie and see the world by Marjorie Priceman
Little Hoot and Little Oink by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

Any other suggestions?  We're always looking for more!
