Valentine's Day....the celebration continues

Happy "belated" Valentine's Day to all you sweethearts.

We celebrated Valentine's Day with just about our whole family being here.

It was Courtney's "Sweet Sixteen" birthday so we had to take her out for breakfast. Just Courts, her dad and I went to Shari's (it's her traditional place to go)

We followed that with a trip to the zoo. Cherise, Alyssa & Rowan, and Lalita & Simon were able to go with us.

Unbeknownst to Cherise there was someone else at the zoo waiting just for her. Kiel surprised her with a perfect Valentine proposal at the Elk Meadow. Pretty cool day so far.
We continued the celebration with Jess and Joylynn and the kids coming over for supper and we had a super fun dance party in the dining room, dancing to "Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen" by Niel Sedaka. Fun stuff. All in all it was a very nice day.

Courtney and Dad

Courtney and her main dance partner. He can sure move!

It's hard to get a picture of Genevieve these days. #1 she doesn't like having pictures taken because of the flash and she is just always on the move. I'm hoping with my new camera and the zoom feature I can get some great outdoor shots without her realizing the camera is there.

Danika Dolly what a precious Valentine!

Rowan is a cute little man....he "stole Mommy's heart" Gramma's too.

The boys. Simon is getting so tall. They weigh about the same.

Another group of boys. This time Hayden and Cam are with their cousin Sebastian. He spent most of the week with us because his dad got married. (see previous post)

And here are the "love-birds" They are two great kids... we kind of like them anyway. We wish you all God's best in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.
