Second year in and it’s now officially a tradition. Our friend, Melisa, generously stops by with all her crafting supplies for classroom Valentine’s Day card making. Glitterrific!

Meryl went to a friend’s birthday party and made a duct tape wallet that is so impressive it needed to be shown to all of us at home, and Xanna too:) Elsa blue sparkle tape on the outside, pink confetti tape on the inside and, get this, an interior pouch that closes using the ‘zip’ part of a Ziploc bag. Clever!

For banana bread!

The girls a part of both first grade classes at school have formed a basketball team and it is so much fun…and I am so impressed with the two Mom coaches, who don’t play basketball:) Meryl hasn’t been able to a play a game because they’re during ski lessons, but the weekday practices fill all the fulfilling buckets.

It’s great to be museum bound these days!

On a cooold frosty day!

We finally caught WildLanterns at the Woodland Park Zoo on a clear night just before it closed for the season! These parrots literally repeated what the kids said into the speaker…and it was quite fun to hear them talk:)

We love the zoo!
