Valentines and DC

For Valentines Day, we went to the Chart House to get dessert. We do this every year for little holidays and for our anniversary. Kayla loves it. This year she decided to wear the dress that Nana gave her for Christmas (check out Heirlooms to Be @ www.heirloomstobe.com), with of course heels and makeup. Drew and I got wine, but Kayla had a dessert feast. She got chocolate lava cake and creme brulee. She was in heaven. Before our dessert night we decided to spend the day in DC. We rode the Metro and visited the Natural and American History Museum's. At the Natural History Museum, Kayla held this huge discusting grasshopper thing... YUCK... it was a lot of fun. Then I got the bright idea to WALK to the Lincoln Memorial...what a mistake that was. Not only was it far but the wind whips thru the mall like you would not beleive. We made it and Kayla was very excited to see the statue and memorial. Then there was the walk all the way back to the metro. All in all we had a "great family day", as Kayla calls it.

December Outings

Navy ice rink opened. We took Kayla skating for the very first time. There were a few tears but she got the hang of it. Before long she was doing laps by herself.

This is at Earleigh Heights Fire house picking out our tree. This year K and Drew picked out the tree. They did a great job it is beautiful. This year is Kaylas tree topper. 2 years ago it was mine which is a star type topper last year was Drews which was a dove. While at vally view farms she got to pick out any topper she wanted. She picked an interesting angel that lights up blue red and purple. It def. gives our tree some flare. Pics soon to come

This is our Valley View Farms outing. It is a yearly tradition with Dad and Greg. We go pick out an ornament for this year then we go out for a lunch. Great Holiday Fun

Hello all. Well I broke down and started a blog. We will see how it goes. Drew and I just took Kayla to Disney on Ice. We kept it a suprise until we walked in the arena. Kayla was so excited. It was great we all enjoyed it. They had Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Cars, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, and Tinkerbell. Kayla was all dressed up and ready for the show. Money well spent. I also put up some pictures from the Ren Fest which is a huge yearly tradition. We must of went 2 or 3 times this year. My favorite is the pic of Kayla and Drew eating the infamous turkey legs. YUMMY!
