February... Dragon bowling for Briggs, dance observation for Lil, a fun Valentines Day for all the kids, a tiny bit of snow flurries, a short trip to Raleigh for the girls and the mountains for me, Hogan and the boys (more snow!), B's first jam session, Alvin Ailey, and preparing for (gulp) puppy!

 |
| The girls and I had dinner with April and Claire and saw Freaky Friday at Charlotte Christian. Then both girls got to go home with them for a sleepover. |
 |
| B has been saving forever for the Harry Potter lego train. I was so sorry for him that I couldn't find the really big one he originally wanted, but we found this one and he was happy! He put the whole thing together himself (no surprise)! |
 |

 |
| Lil- your grace has always been undeniable, and continues to amaze me as you mature! |

 |
| Pre school breakfast in Lil's room. |

 |
| Our morning tubing session was cancelled due to the road conditions but we got a later spot. |
