February snow fun

Neighborhood Valentine Party

We live in the best neighborhood!  Some neighbors had planned on having a Valentine party and when we said that we would be gone in Arizona until just after Valentine's Day, they changed the party so that we could come!  We decorated boxes and sugar cookies, ate lunch, played games, and exchanged valentines.

Arizona family reunion and wedding time

Craig & Devaun's wedding was the perfect excuse to make a little winter-escape vacation out of.  We went to Arizona for a whole week before the wedding and made a little family reunion out of it.  We rented out a big house that had its own pool, hot tub, tennis court, pickle ball court, basketball court, fire pit and grill.  It was a really old house but nice to have so much room and so many fun amenities right there at our convenience.  To make it easy for me, I'm just going to write out our schedule:

Saturday night: arrived and went to Kevin & Amy's house
Sunday: Church with the Martin's and then dinner and playing at Kevin & Amy's house before heading over to the rental house
Monday: Sports tournament (I think it was called Pickle Ball that we all got really into); ate dinner at In-N-Out, and had s'mores and roasted starburst in the fire pit in the backyard.
Tuesday: We made chocolate dipped fortune cookies with some funny/some real advice for C&D; roasted hot dogs for dinner
Wednesday: Had a game night after the kids went to bed; grilled in backyard for dinner; made s'mores
Thursday: Minute-to-win-it games; went to Cafe Rio for dinner
Friday: Valentine's day party in the morning; Bingo game for the kids; wedding dinner; family conversation with Craig at night
Saturday: Wedding & reception

It was such a great week spent with family!  Now here are some of the pictures, mostly in random order.
