Any Reason To Celebrate



I love celebrating...anything. Why not? It can make an ordinary day extra fun, just by "celebrating", and turning it into a special occasion. The first thing we celebrated this week was Ground Hog Day. I know, most people don't know when it occurs, but I guarantee you ask any kindergarten teacher what happens on February 2 and they are sure to know. Anyhow, we have an elderly neighbor who's wife passed away a few years ago, and we have since adopted him. So for Ground Hog Day, the girls made him some cupcakes with little "ground hogs" popping out of them. I know we brightened his day by delivering him some of our homemade treasures.

The second thing we celebrated was Chinese New Year. While we are by no means Chinese, again, another reason to celebrate. Jinglebell was learning about the holiday at school, so we decided to make some Chinese food and practice our chopstick skills. Thus, we love the invention of the fork.

The Things I LOVE...



In an attempt to get back into blogging, I am going to attempt to have a "theme" for the month of February. It is going to be The Things I Love... and of course one of my favorites is my sweet baby girl. I love her innocence in the fact that her sisters dressed her up and are cracking up laughing at her, and she is as sweet as can be. I love her age right now and the fact that she is so easy to snuggle and loves to be snuggled. I love that she gives kisses to us and is quick to offer a kiss when she sees her sister is sad. I love that she races to the door to greet her daddy when he comes home. I love that she climbs to the top of the table, and then tells herself to "get down?" 100 times in a row. I love her with every ounce of my being and I love that God chose me to be her mommy.
