We love celebrations...who doesn't?:) So, Valentine's Day is usually a week-long celebration. This year we went to my sister Christina's & worked on Valentine Boxes...it was fun to share the excitement with cousins & have another reason to get together:)...sadly, I have no pics from that day...but here are some pics of the finished products!

Out to Supper with Familia!

Samantha & Alexa...I couldn't get a good picture of these 2...they were so busy catching up on giggling...they were adorable so I had to include a picture!

Jacob & Levi

Auntie Angie & Faith

Jax & the bro-in-laws

The sweet little reason for our gathering:)!

Dan, Angie & Alexa were here to meet Mariah & 4 of us sisters & our families were able to meet for supper at Mongo's Mongolian Grill in Maple Grove...the time was short, sweet & SO busy with 11 chillins...what great fun to have all of us together:)! We missed Joe & Leah & Mom & Dad! I always forget to get a picture of all of the cousins & us sisters:(!

My favorite...the seahorses!

This White Wolf kept licking the corner where Faith would put her hand...she could feel his breath & he looked so tame & sad....

Recently, we went to the Minnesota Zoo & had a blast...we never tire of going to the Zoo & I think when our chillins are all grown & away from home, Troy & I will still be going!
