Ellia'a New Chair

Ellia's last Christmas present FINALLY arrived - better late than never! It was a chair from Pottery Barn Kids that I though she would enjoy since she liked to play with Bianca's so much. Do you think she likes it or what?

Back to the Zoo...

We jump at any chance we get to go to the zoo, especially at this time of year when the weather in Miami is perfect. This time it was to celebrate Vanessa's 6th birthday. During this trip we rode on a camel, rode on the carousel (of course), dug for dinosaur fossils and pet and brushed a rhinoceros - pretty cool!

And the day wouldn't have been complete without and ice cream treat to top it off!

Football, Hearts and Donuts

It's catch up time again! We had a nice Superbowl Sunday evening at home since the game started late here on the East Coast and Daddy and Bianca had school early Monday morning. We played, ate, cheered for the Steelers, and enjoyed a fantastic game!

Our little princess is such a big girl now and eats with a fork and spoon...just like her big sister!

With Valentine's Day on the horizon, we have been busy making Valentines and receiving them! Last week the girls were busy getting spoiled with packages arriving from Mimi and Poppy as well as Zarin joon and Papa Teddy. This weekend we spent some time in the kitchen making heart cookies.

I love the look on Ellia's face here...she just got busted snatching a cookie off of the tray!

Because Bianca's school year ends prior to Father's Day, her preschool has a day to honor fathers in February. Last week, Mark went with Bianca to school to enjoy "Donuts with Dads". It was so heartwarming to see how excited Bianca was about Mark joining her at school for a morning.

She was the line leader on the way to chapel that day.
