Valentine's Day

We woke up to a surprise Valentine's Day treasure hunt from Daddy.

 

It's amazing what he can accomplish when the entire household is dead asleep by 8pm! The girls loved chocolate for breakfast.

Sammie had a school party and was so, super sad when I showed up without Peyton and Alayna. 

 

Grandma made a last minute visit with balloons and saved me from bringing crazy-town to the elementary school.

We had heart-shaped food for dinner and enjoyed being together in a house full of love!

Peyton's First Smile

Could life get any better when a newborn smiles for the first time?!

I cannot get enough of this sweet smile.

There have been just a few before today...which are unofficial because it was just one and not again. 

Wednesday afternoon, she grinned that big 'ole silly grin and just didn't stop.

Then again, today, she kept at it. 

 

So, I proclaim it official...Peyton Smiles!

Christmas Eve & Day

Few holidays are complete without rolling out and frosting cookies. Aunt Melissa is always in charge of this activity and she comes up with all kinds of fun colors.

Blake put together a movie trivia game for everyone to play. Sammie loved it and had Grandma as her spelling helper.

Papa and his grand-daughters.

This picture accurately portrays these girls' personalities.
