February was a big month for us. Both of mama's boys turned a year older and we had a great time celebrating. Oliver turned 8 on the 1st and I turned 3 on the 22nd. My birthday party was at Pump It Up - an inflatable bounce house and I had lots of friends and family there to help celebrate. I picked a Jake the Pirate birthday theme, so there were lots of Jake balloons and a Jake cake that was delicious. I got lots of great gifts and enjoyed turning 3. Grandpa Steve traveled down from Iowa and helped Mama out so much by keeping me entertained while she ran errands for the party and helped with setting everything up for the party as well. He also helped put some of my gifts together so I could enjoy them. Uncle Shae, Aunt Lisette, Teddy, Leo, and Baby Charlie traveled for the party and we got to swim at the hotel, it was so much fun! I kept asking Mama if we could go back to their house to swim and ride in the elevator.
We also had the worst ice storm in years in the middle of the month. The ice came down on a Sunday night through Monday morning and we were iced in for two days. There is still ice on the ground in spots because it has been cold ever since. Mama says she had never seen anything like it, even in her almost 30 years living in Iowa. We are so ready to see the spring daffodils and warmer days. Makes moving to Florida a serious option at this point.
We hope you are all staying warm and let's all hope spring is here sooner rather than later! Here are some photos from February.
Love and hugs,
Mav
