Valentine's Day

Jon and I went out the night before Valentines to the Cheesecake Factory which was a lot of fun. We wanted to beat the valentine's rush and have a valentine's dinner with the girls on Monday.
I cooked teriyaki beef, rice and steamed veggies for our family dinner. The girls helped me decorate the table complete with their stuffed animals, confetti and candy.

Mia put scarves on our chairs...
They said this was "the best night ever"...it's the little things;)

Watching for daddy to arrive for dinner...

First Trip to the Circus

We took the girls to their first circus last weekend. It was really fun. I still can't get over the overly inflated prices of the snacks and prizes. I mean $12 cotton candy?! That is insane. We went to the mall after we left the circus and got the girls some cotton candy for $3:)

Anyways, it was totally awesome. Jon and I couldn't believe how much they have added since we went to the circus as kids. Averi gave a running commentary the whole time of everything she saw and liked. Mia was intensely watching EVERYTHING and didn't want to look away for a second. She told me when it was over that she wished she could stay and watch the next show:) And both told me they want to be gymnasts or acrobats in the circus one day "if we will let them":)

Excited and heading in to the circus

The elephants were their favorite animals there
