Valentine's Day

I had a terrific party at preschool to celebrate Valentine's Day.  Fiona and mom got to come and join me while I opened my "heart" filled with valentines and treats.

Here I am with Teacher Ayu, dressed as a love bug.

And with Teacher Deb & Fiona

Feeling the love!

Fiona was able to indulge in a special Valentine donut from Krispy Kreme

All the sugar put her in a silly mood!

Mommy's special valentine tulips from daddy (he picked them up at Pike Place Market earlier that day)

What a Gathering

We recently went to a party for mom and dad's friend Heather who is moving to Africa.  There were tons of kids to play with (the hosts have a bouncy house in their playroom), lots of good food, and quite a trip down memory lane for my parents.  

Fiona insisted on wearing her princess costume for the occasion:

We visited the Seattle Children's Museum one morning, following it up with a trip on the Monorail from the Seattle Center to downtown Seattle for a ride on the holiday carousel.  Woo-hoo! We should all commute by monorail.

We also trekked to the Bellevue Botanical Gardens for the fantastic light displays in the Garden d'lights.  Our favorite was the waterfall garden.  What a fun night!

I woke up one Saturday morning with a case of walking pneumonia so I had to miss the fun Christmas party held at grandma and grandpa's community clubhouse.  Daddy and Fiona were able to take part in the festivities and far from being scared of the entertaining elf, Fiona really got into the action.

Merry Christmas!!!

Halloween - Trick-or-Treating

This year we were lucky enough to go trick-or-treating with some new friends, Andrew and Sam.  They came over with their mom and dad and  then we headed out into the neighborhood to find lots of loot.  Afterward, we came back for ice cream and cupcakes and spent the rest of the night admiring our booty.

Happy Halloween, a few days late

We had a slew of fun pre-Halloween activities, and many that included wearing the costumes we'd purchased. It always feels great to get a lot of wear out of these outfits.
