Parties and Pencils

We've had a busy couple of weeks. Our friends/neighbors, the Iannuccis, just moved to Ireland for 6 months, so we ambushed their house the night before they left to steal their food and interrupt any last minute tasks that they had to complete before their departure. We are truly helpful, loving friends. We wanted a shot of all of the kids together and, as usual, a less than stellar picture was all that we could get. Sadly, this is the best one that we have ever taken of the 4 of them.

Riley and Erin hammin' it up.

The girls went to their friend Maven's birthday party a few weeks ago. This picture of Sanna eating one of the delicious cake lollipops was the best picture of the batch. It is hard to get photo gold when no one will sit still or act interested in our desire to capture cuteness.

This is not the most flattering picture of little Nanni, but she was just so proud of writing all of her Valentine's Day cards that I had to share it. Both girls filled out a Valentine's Day card for each of their classmates, carefully writing each friend's name, and signing their own. They are learning to write all of their letters at school and couldn't have been prouder to accomplish this special Valentine's Day task:)

Sanna's famous signature (of course she picked Toy Story cards).

Riley's John Hancock (equally shocking that she picked Barbie cards:)

They will have a Valentine's Day party at school on Tuesday that the parents are invited to, so you KNOW that Ryan and I would NEVER miss that. We have our eyes on parents of the year 2013 since we already had a huge parenting fail in 2012. I know, I know, it's only February, but don't judge us people.
