Our sweet nephew, Ian, turned one year old this past Saturday, so we loaded up and went to Ft. Worth to help him celebrate. He had a great party! Our kids really enjoyed helping him play with all his new toys.
Aunt Alanna and Uncle Chrisy with the birthday boy.
Ian with his Mommy and Daddy about to blow out the candle on his cake.
Here is another bad picture of the Stansell grandbabies. The kids are still winning and the Mommies are still trying. We have decided to have a family portrait made of all of Chris's side of the family in April. This is probably a very good indication of what it is going to look like plus a bunch of frustrated parents!! We found Luke's monkey Memaw Linda!
This year for Valentine's Day Johnnie and I got together and planned our own night out with our husbands. My parents and Grandmother came to sit with the kids so we could have our night out. The kids were so excited! The four of us went to eat steaks at Clear Springs Cafe and then to watch the movie, He is Just Not That Into You. The dinner was great, but the move not so much. It was unanimous about half way through the movie that the movie was horrible, and we should leave and salvage the rest of the evening. So we decided to go get some ice cream! We had a fun time, and it was a special treat to get to go out with Johnnie and Aaron. We have never had a double date together, but I hope we get to again soon!
Luke and Rachel each had Valentine's parties at their schools. They enjoy making the boxes to collect their loot, getting the little cards from their friends, and eating all the candy as fast as they can. For their Valentine's gift from us I took Rachel and Luke to Chuck E Cheese with a friend of mine and her kids. They played games and ate pizza until the money ran out. Chuck E Cheese is always a fun treat for them. Kate stayed home with Daddy and did not know what she was missing. I know we won't get by with that next year.
She is making sure she did not leave anything in the bowl.
Look at her forehead.
She had banana yogurt for dessert. She fed herself with that spoon. Do you notice that she licked the yogurt container clean too? She has a circle around her nose.
Rachel being silly.
Wonder who taught Kate to make the face two pictures up?
