Valentine's Day, Open Houses and Company

We have had an action packed month!  The boys loved celebrating Valentine's Day and both had lots of fun preparing treats and participating in their respective Valentine's Day festivities.  Charlie's class put on a little performance, which was an absolute riot.  I laid out a nice outfit for Charlie to wear and we talked the night before about looking handsome for his show, and you better believe he strutted into my room that morning with a track warm-up suit on that he wouldn't take it off.  He also had a nice big black eye from falling off the bed the weekend before, so he was looking all kinds of awesome for his show!  His performance completely mirrored his outfit; for about half the time he sat lounged back in his chair, with both his hands in his pockets, and an "I'm way too cool," for this nonsense look on his face.  Matt and I both laughed out loud several times throughout the show b/c he was absolutely hilarious!  

We also hosted an open house this last weekend and had my family in to visit!  Abby, Mom, Bub, Ava and Owen flew in and helped us pull the whole thing off.  It was an insane week, mixed with sick kids and freezing weather, but we still had a great, and very big, party that we couldn't ever have done without all their help.  Here are a bunch of pics from the past few weeks.

 Charlie loved baby Owen again this trip
 Alec and Ava were sharing a room and we found Alec in bed with her after we had put them to sleep more than one - they adore each other
