Roller Skating

A company we work for had a Roller Skating party yesterday for their customers and clients. We had so much fun skating with the boys to 80's and 90's music.

On Thursday night we made Valentine's boxes and then our friend's Kristen and Everett came over for a visit. Daddy is usually the one to help with the boxes, since I'm not so artistic, but since he was in Colorado I had to be the one to help. The boys all picked what they wanted though, and did most of the work themselves. They turned out great! On Friday they had their party at school. I was able to float from class to class to help where it was needed. It's so fun to see them in their school setting!

A January River Adventure

Saturday was such a beautiful day, we decided to take Papa Great's boat out on the river. We went for a boat ride and then went and played on the sand bar. It was awesome being able to get some fresh air and enjoy the river, especially in January! However, it just makes us more anxious for spring to arrive!

Mommy's Christmas Present

For years I’ve been telling the boys (meaning Dale and the kids) that I don’t want any presents for Christmas, I just want to do something fun together that we normally wouldn’t do. Well they surprised me this year by two days of fun. We started off with brunch at Prasino followed by a painting session at The Art Cellar of St. Charles. We each got to choose what we wanted to paint. We drank wine (the kids had sparkling grape juice) and painted. It was so much fun and the kids enjoyed it so much. Afterwards we went to Embassy Suites in Downtown St. Louis. We enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub and then went to dinner at Pi. (We’ve been wanting to try this for years.) The following morning the boys swam some more before we headed to Winterfest to ice skate under the arch. Now the pictures look cool, but it was a complete disappointment. The so called synthetic ice was just hard plastic and you could basically just walk on it. We came, we saw, we conquered and we learned our lesson! Max only went around twice and was so mad he sat on the bench the rest of the time. Will and Levi made the best of it! We then walked to Ballpark Village since we had never been there and enjoyed some appetizers and walked around. We were even able to see the Winter Classic rink in Busch Stadium. We finally headed home (so Dale could work the snow that was coming) and the boys and I rented a movie and had gourmet hot chocolate. It was a great surprise. I will remember this time with my family far longer than I would any present under the tree!
