Valentine's Day!

Greta would tell you, "it was the best Valentine's Day ever!"  It started with Oma coming for a visit bringing a "party in a bag" for Greta's Valentine's treat and a toy dump truck for Gabriel.  They had party after party, and the parties were continued with a preschool party and then a party at daycare.  We ended our Valentine's weekend with a getaway to a water park in Brainerd.
One of the many parties with Oma.

Special Valentines from Tante & Tee and Henry & Lydia also arrived in the mail.

 My little goofballs on Valentine's Day!

Gabriel's favorite part of the trip was running and falling down on the bed.

Anxiously waiting for the pool to open.

At last...swimming!
 
And Greta's favorite part of the trip...the waterslides!  This waterpark was perfect for younger kids, because Greta was able to touch the bottom of the pools and go on all the water slides.  We'll be looking forward to our annual Brainerd trip next winter!

18 Months!


It's hard to believe my sweet boy is 18 months already!  He's turning into quite the little toddler.  Greta's been having fun teaching him new words, with the latest being yellow and bubble.  Anything that is round (including the large, round, red target circular statues, oranges, apples, you name it)  is a ball and must be tested for it's bouncing ability.  He loves to try on shoes, clothes, mittens, and hats and wear them around the house.  He's still my little love bug and is always up for a snuggle, kisses, and  hugs!  We love him to the moon and back and over and over again!
