Family Time in Stratton, VT

After being serenaded by Laurie Berkner, Jack's BIg Music Show, and Sesame Street, we have arrived at our winter wonderland! Danny and I found it funny that we listened to children's music during our entire three and a half hour car ride:-) We're so happy to be here in Stratton! The location of our condo is centrally located, and we had a great time walking past the shops. Along the way, Grace wanted to take a photo with each black bear that she saw. We had a delicious prime rib dinner at Mulligan's and then we headed back to watch the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics.

Frosty Returns

We're having lots of fun playing in the snow this Winter! Frosty the Snowman has already returned! This time he looks much more posh! Daddy taught Grace how to make and throw snowballs:-) They had a lot of fun throwing them off the deck and at Mommy!

Budding Artist

We got over a foot of snow today, and we enjoyed watching it comfortably at home in our pajamas! Grace had a blast finger painting with Mommy, and she created some beautiful artwork, which is already hanging on our fridge:-)

Valentine's Day

Our Valentine's Day started perfectly... Andrew gave us a fabulous present (he slept through the night for the very first time in his crib)!!! We hosted a delicious brunch at our house with LuLu and Pop, Nana and Grandpa, and Nanny and Poppy! Bernadette Grace provided entertainment by singing the alphabet numerous times and giving out her homemade valentines:-) Andrew enjoyed his first Valentine's Day, and he received tons of hugs and kisses from his Valentine's... Mommy and big-sister, Grace:-) We had such a wonderful day, and we ended it with a family date night at Brooklyn's Pizza!

These photos are from our pre-Valentine's Day photo shoot:-)
This picture was taken on Valentine's Day Eve... Daddy gave Grace her first "bouquet" of flowers!!! She was "ecstatic!" These just happen to be two of her favorite words from The Fancy Nancy series!!!

Stories With Sarah

We have been going to Stories with Miss Sarah since Grace was six months old! The stories, songs, and company can't be beat! Aunt Maylene and Olivia are big fans, too! Andrew was happy to be part of all the excitement this week. He was mesmerized by the bubbles (just like Grace was at his age)! Grace and Olivia were sure to get stickers for their brothers at the end of class!!! We can't wait for the next session to start!

Snow Day

We had such a fabulous day relaxing at home and playing in the snow!!! Grace and I made some very fancy homemade valentines. Our little sweetheart is obsessed with the Fancy Nancy series, and she was so excited to get her hands on the glitter pens, shiny stickers, and doilies!
Daddy was so happy to receive a valentine from his little girl!
When the snow stopped coming down so heavily, Danny headed outside with Grace to make her very first snowman! Andrew and I had fun watching, and we were sure to get lots of photos of "Frosty!" It was such a fun family day!
