Happy February!

So I have been the worst blogger ever, but let's be honest, January and February are boring!  Especially January, it never ends!  So to combate this sad trend, some of our friends hosted the coolest party ever.  It is called First Friday and they do it every year after the Christmas/New year's hype wears off.  They change the theme each year and this year's theme was superheroes!  We each had to come up with our own superhero name, costume, powers/abilities, theme song, as well as weaknesses.  It was so hilarious.  

Here's the whole gang!

Here are our awesome hosts, Latin Spice and Mustache man AKA the Albrechts.

I was supermom and Garrett was Tort man.  I sewed my little utility belt and Supermom cape.  The kids were loving the cape!  Notice Garrett's ridiculously large bling on his pinky:) Rylynn's costume jewelry!

Okay these are our friends the Beykirchs and everytime I think about them or see this picture I just laugh.  They went ALL OUT!  Loved them!  I seriously couldn't even tell who they were when they walked in the door.  Their characters were brown hornet and I forgot the other name from Fat Albert. 

All the super women!

And the super men!

So we played some fun games and then we rocked out to sing star.  I had to post this picture because Damon(Batman) totally reminded me of my Dad while he was singing.  He had all the same moves and was soo into it.  Garrett and I were dying laughing.  I don't know if he realized what an awesome compliment that was when I told him he danced and sang just like my Dad, but we loved it:)

I also got my craft on this February and made this cute Valentine's Day wreath out of cupcake liners.  We have a craft group and let's be honest, I am not so crafty, but when someone else is in charge, I usually enjoy making things.  So I gave it a try and I love how the wreath turned out.

Over the weekend before V-Day Garrett was gone on an overnighter with the YM so the kids and I made the traditional sugar cookies ourselves.

We had lots of fun decorating this year since the kids are getting old enough to not make an enormous mess!

Well maybe not this one:)  He sure liked licking the frosting off those chubby little fingers though.

Carter was very meticulous about his sprinkles.

We even made Daddy his very own plate!

The kids also helped with the decorations!

For our actual Valentine's Dinner on Monday we had this yummy asian chicken salad that we all love and then for dessert we had chocolate turtle fondue with strawberries and bananas.  So yummy!

Then the kids got to open their Valentine's bags.  They were so excited because we got Carter "Despicable Me" and Rylynn got "How to Train my Dragon."  They have wanted those movies so bad lately.  So we threw them in with all the other candy and goodies.  They have been watching them NON STOP!

Beckett was in heaven with his balloon and endless suckers.  I'm so happy to have so many adorable Valentine's in my life!  Okay so maybe February isn't so boring, but January was too long!
