A Valentine's Day to Remember...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ready to dig into fondue!

This is our favorite Valentine's tradition

FONDUE!!!!!

Ken brought me these lovely roses which I arranged for a centerpiece. He wanted the girls to each have one of their own, so they are in separate containers.

We set a lovely table for our feast.

The girls getting their first glimpse of their Valentine from Grandpa Hubrich

A DVD of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs"

They were very excited and have already watched it twice!

Still in love after all these years--we are so blessed!

Opening Valentine's!

Our little sweethearts!

We celebrated Valentine's Day on Saturday the 13th because our favorite uncle, Uncle Brian, was coming to town for work. We enjoyed about 8 hours together. The girls made puppet shows and funny videos together with Uncle Brian's flip video camera. They had a ball!

Then we opened Valentine's gifts & cards--the girls loved making everybody a special card, especially Uncle Brian. The girls were very excited for the DVD "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" which Grandpa Hubrich sent them.

We enjoyed a fabulous dinner of marinated grilled salmon, heart attack cheesy potatoes, and a salad with avocados and croutons--Yum! Then we watched the girls new DVD and then we had a dessert that we all absolutely loved--CHOCOLATE FONDUE with dippers: graham crackers, marshmellows, bananas, strawberries, and mini creme puffs. Oh, the eating was good!

The day seemed to go by too quickly but we all have very fond memories of our special day together. We love each other soooo much and we love our Uncle Brian!

Hope you all had lovely Valentine's celebrations as well!

Kylie's Halloween Birthday Party!

Kylie will be turning 12 soon--and this is her year for a birthday party with friends. She invited 9 friends and her 2 sisters to join in some Halloween fun. Ken went all out decorating the porch and embellishing Heidi's interior decor for some spooky fun. We had a blast and were also happy at 9 p.m. when the house went back to the noise level of only 3 children versus 12!

Carving Pumpkins

We enjoyed a fun family night of carving pumpkins and taking "Boo" treats to a couple of neighbors. That is a fun tradition. Someone left us a little goodie last night and then you are supposed to take a goodie to two other neighbors and you hang up a little ghost in your window so you don't get "boo"ed again. The girls love the Boos! We are gearing up for Kylie's big 12th birthday party on Halloween as well. A busy and fun week!

She's had a birthday, shout hooray!

Our little pumpkin turned 9 and has enjoyed her birthday festivities! Many thanks to family and friends who remembered her special day and sent her lovely cards & gifts. She loves each one!

Long time no blog...

Hello all! I have been extremely remiss in blogging the last few months. I will hope to do better. Hope you are all enjoying autumn! It is sure pretty here! :-)
