More Snow & V-Day

Ansley had a great time at her school Valentine's Day party on Friday. She came home on the biggest sugar high!!! Not to mention, she had a ton of candy and treats from all her friends. They handed out Vday cards to all their classmates. Instead of buying Valentine cards for Ansley to hand out, I made rice-krispy treat lollipops and turned them into butterfly's. They came out really cute!!!

For the past week they had been talking about us getting more snow. But this time it was suppose to go south of the city and we were not going to see any. And I have to admit, I was happy about that. There was still snow around in some places from the 6 inches we got two weeks ago. Well, the weatherman was not right and the snow started falling around 4pm on Friday and didn't stop. It was beautiful but I was just praying we weren't going to be stuck inside all weekend. We ended up with over 2 inches of snow. Thankfully we didn't get ice like last time. It was the perfect snow for sledding. My mom had brought us a sled last weekend when she was in town and we definitely put it to use. Ansley would only ride in it if Rob was pulling her around but wouldn't actually sled down the hill in it. But mommy & daddy did. I am glad none of the pictures of me sledding came out, it was pretty comical watching a 33 week preggo mom sledding, HA! ..... By Saturday afternoon the snow had mostly melted. I would love to say this is the last snow we are going to get for the year, but I am not too sure about that. We have already had 3 big snowfalls since December.

Here are some pictures from us out in the snow. Hope you enjoy!!!

watching daddy sled ... all Ansley wanted to do was go home and build a snowman I think Rob was the most excited about sledding :)Ansley loved her little snowman... she was really into building it this time

A Baby Shower

This past Saturday, two of my really good friends threw a baby shower for me. My sister and mom were able to come into town which I really appreciated! I am so glad they were able to meet a lot of my friends whom they hear me talking about often :) Jenna and Laura did such a wonderful job with the shower and everything was absolutely beautiful!!! It was a small shower since a lot of people couldn't make it, but I think it really was perfect, it allowed all of us to be able to sit and hang out in the same room....

I can't thank Jenna and Laura enough for throwing me a shower for Aly. She got a lot of nice gifts and is already spoiled!!! We can't wait, only 8 more weeks to go (hopefully less) before we get to meet baby Aly :)

Happy 31st Birthday Rob

Rob's 31st Birthday was Thursday, the 4th of February. We started the celebration a day earlier with a nice dinner at the Prickly Pear. It is a modern upscale Mexican restaurant and it was great! The service was a little slow, but we were not in a hurry since we had a sitter for Ansley :)

Then on Thursday, Ansley and I made Rob a birthday cake, a jerk chicken dinner, opened birthday cards and finished the night with some yummy cake!!! Ansley had so much fun decorating the cake for her daddy, she was pretty precise in where she put the sprinkles. It was really cute!

Rob/daddy, we hope you had a wonderful birthday!!! We love you and appreciate everything you do for us.
