Valentine's Snow

We finally got our first and maybe only snow of the season. Unfortunately it didn't last long. The kids weren't too disappointed considering we were leaving for New Mexico the next day and we promised them LOTS of snow.

It was also Valentine's class parties for both.

Ready to perform....

She loved going through all of her Valentine loot.

How cute are these three?

Now it's time to run down the hall and get to a a second grade V-day party.

Tyson and his buddies think they're too cool for Valentine crafts.

Two parties down........ time to pack up the truck and get ready for our ski vacation.
