Jan-February Birthdays and Dances and Movie Nights

We celebrated January birthdays late and February birthdays early this year...but we weren't complaining!  We love birthday MONTHS...

 And that evening was the Father/Daughter Dance and Mommy/Son Movie Night!  This year Jeff and Grace went to Olive Garden with the gang and the boys and I went to McDonalds and then to see Peter Rabbit.  Angela and the kids joined us at the movie!

Living the Dream

 I died when Jeff sent this to me.  Hahahaha.

And then there was the winter day that Mom let us make this really awesome fort at the bottom of the stairs where everyone walks...complete with Valentine card crafties...everywhere!

 Grace is skiing!!!

The boys chose Get Air for their fun outing, since they couldn't go skiing...lots of energy spent!

Date night!  Kaitlyn spoiled us by letting Jeff and I go see LaLaLand (loved it!) while she took the kids (in their jams!) to see Moana at the Garland (they loved it, too!).  These soundtracks saturated our house over the next two months...

 The kids and I grabbed Mod Pizza with Kaitlyn and her roommate before going the Refugee Rally at Gonzaga.  Jeff was at a church meeting, but then he joined us.  Loved hearing the refugees' stories and was encouraged to see such great support in Spokane!

Linnea passed on Grace some of her notebooks to use...I found this open in her room to a page with Linnea's notes...Grace said she couldn't tear it out because it had Linnea's handwriting on it!

 "Have a good day at work, Daddy!"

 "What color's my tongue, Mom?"

 Missing our Linnea!

SING!

As soon as school was let out on Dec 21, we rushed the family to the theater to celebrate!  SING! was the movie of choice.

And then dinner at Tomato Street!
