Saint Patrick's Day

We had a fun St. Patrick's Day this year. The boys really got into it and enjoyed all the fun stuff I planned... even green eggs for breakfast!
Daddy had to work, but Aunt Keri came over for dinner (including green jello) and art projects. We make these adorable shamrock hats and colored a leprechaun picture.

I hid shamrocks around the house for the boys to find and we ate yummy, green cupcakes with green frosting and green sprinkles.
My little Andrew leprechaun.

We had a fun, LUCKY day! :)



Our 2nd Honeymoon

I realize this post is WAY overdue, but...

The end of January, Jesse and I left the boys with Grandma and had a 2nd Honeymoon/business trip to Anaheim, CA. We had a blast! We were gone 8 days and had beautiful California weather for almost all of them.

We spent 3 1/2 days at the CHA Convention, drooling over all the beautiful, new scrapbooking supplies. Jesse won me a Slice. He was such a good sport, and at least pretended to have a great time while I did my thing at the convention. :) We have lots of fun and gorgeous stuff planned for our upcoming Paper Posies Scrapbooking kits!
We spent 2 days of our trip at the happiest place on earth: Disneyland (and California Adventures). We had a great time riding rides, eating Disneyland food, laughing, holding hands, and just being together!
We missed the boys! We had to get this picture to show them we got to meet Lightning McQueen and Mater.

We spent a day at the beach and had dinner at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Factory on the Santa Monica Pier. We got to watch the sun go down at the end of the pier - talk about GORGEOUS!



We also went to Hollywood one afternoon and Jesse took me shopping at a huge, southern CA mall. Another day we spent a half day at an outdoor mall. Of course he bought me some really cute stuff both places! I'm so spoiled. Our motel was right across from Disneyland and we got to lay on our bed watching the fireworks both Friday nights we were there. We hot tubbed, tried The Cheesecake Factory for the first time (oh, yummy!), ate at a very nice restaurant overlooking the ocean from the top balcony view, and really, just had the time of our lives together. We really enjoyed celebrating our 5th anniversary (a couple months late) and made some great memories!
