Valentine's

Making William's Valentines for friends!
I really wanted William to make his Valentine's this year. It is difficult to convince a 3 year old to write, so I thought making treats was a great idea. I gave him a few suggestions and he wanted to make chocolate covered pretzels and fortune cookies. William LOVES helping in the kitchen. I offered him color suggestions and he wanted to make red and white. He had a blast dipping the cookies and pretzels in chocolate. He even licked his fingers at the END!
These are so easy and tasty!

You need:
fortune cookies
candy melts (variety of colors)
wax paper
eager helper(s)Cookies are ready to be dipped

Look RED

I think my friends are really going to like these! :)
(OOPS- forgot to take a final picture)

Happy Valentine's Day!
Our playgroup party. We have been apart of a WONDERFUL playgroup since William was days old. We met at the "New Mom's Support Group" at the hospital and have made lasting friendships. We meet every Thursday. There are 9 mommies, 9 toddlers and 7 babies. It is rare that we all make it on a given week, but regardless of the number it is total organized chaos! We each take turns hosting/planning the activity. Miss Sheri planned our Valentine's party at The Grand Sierra Kid Zone. We enjoyed for pizza lunch, cake and Valentine's and then ventured into the play zone for fun. Thursday's I can always count on great naps for the kids. They are tuckered when we get home.

Sledding

Thrilling Thursday with Playgroup friends
With the recent snow our friends Miss Andrea, Tate and Dane invited us to
their home in Incline for some sledding. Their backyard has an awesome sledding
hill (aka golf course).

12 Happy little ones! hahaWilliam walking up the hill for a sled ride. His first run down he crashed and
burned so he was done!
Annabel is NOT a fan of the cold!

Weeeee sledding fun!


This snow is cold Mama!
