Family Valentines

We spent our Valentine's Day together as a family, especially since Jackson declared Mommy as his valentine this year.

We started the day our at the ECFE Valentine Sock-Hop. We had a great time dancing and seeing friends.
We a festive dinner with heart shaped pizza, chocolate covered strawberries, valentine heart jigglers and heart cookies.

Paul and I did get a chance to go out on Sunday. My brother came over and spent the afternoon with Jackson, for some good uncle/nephew time.
I had a wonderful time with both of my valentines.

Warm Winter Fun

We spent a day at the Mall of America where it was warm and full of fun activities to help with some cabin fever. It was great to be able to spend the whole day with out jackets and feeling toasty.
We made a stop at Underwater Adventures, always a favorite with us. We stood behind Belinda Jensen from Kare 11 while in the tunnel, and embarrassed Paul by talking to her.
Then we went for a few reminders of summer and warm weather to come.
A stop at Met Statium home plate, an excuse to talk about Jackson's favorite- baseball and the Twins.
Then we played a round of mini golf to brush up on our skills. We are looking forward to many more rounds and new courses come summer.
We did a little shopping too along with lunch and dinner.
It was a great day, and we look forward to the no coat days soon to come.

We did also make time for the big game on Sunday. Chris and Rachel hosted a party, so we were able to just go and enjoy the excitement. Here we are with our 3-D glasses, all decked out for the 3-D event during the commercials.

A very fun and successful weekend to help beat those winter blah's.
