Month of Love

February is a fun month at our house. We start it off by celebrating Daniel's birthday and then we get to enjoy Valentine's Day and our Anniversary! Despite our lives being very busy lately, we have been able to squeeze in a little fun.
On Daniel's birthday, Lyza and I went to the school while he was in class, decorated his desk, put out some munchies and surprised him once he finished his class. It was a lot of fun to surprise him at school. Here is a picture of Lyza brushing her teeth before we left the house.

 Here we are at school. Daniel just opened a gift from a friend which was a shirt from "The Big Bang Theory". Lyza thinks it is SOOO pretty!

 Opening more gifts.

 2nd round of gifts at home :)

 I had taken cake balls to school earlier in the day so that night we celebrated with banana splits instead.

 

 Lyza doesn't like to feel like she is missing out on anything so whenever we are in the bathroom this is usually what she is doing on the other side of the door. From our perspective inside the bathroom we usually just see little fingers reaching in from under the door.

 For the last few weeks Lyza has taken a liking to sleeping with her "baby" aka teddy bear. She looks so cute as she cuddles with it while she sleeps.

 Playing with Daniel's birthday balloon.

 All ready to go to bed :)

 We gave her some jello the other night and it was obviously a hit!

 Just being a goof!

 For a few days this week Lyza's favorite toys were her Noah's Ark magnet set and the lettuce spinner. She played with these things for most of the day.

 Eating heart shaped biscuits on Valentine's Day

 We celebrated Valentine's Day at our house by eating heart shaped calzones and strawberry spinach salad. After dinner we even spoiled ourselves with some delicious crepes!

 The weather was much nicer this week and one day Lyza and I even got to enjoy some time at the park. I can't wait until it warms up a little more and we can go more often.

 The swing was not Lyza's favorite activity.

Having a lazy Saturday morning in our pj's reading some books.

 Yesterday was our 5th Anniversary! Here we are all ready to go out on our date!

 We went to Pullman and ate at Swilley's which was delicious! While we were out Lyza stayed at a family's home from our ward and had a ton of fun playing with their 3 girls.

 Bedtime stories.

 The traditional 5th anniversary gift is wood so I made this wooden plaque to hang in our room. Daniel surprised me with a beautiful silver necklace, which is the modern 5th anniversary gift.

The past few weeks Lyza has been learning some of her animal sounds. Here is a video we took last week testing  her on some of her animals.
