Well for my (Desiree's) birthday (also Valentine's Day) my grandparents came to town!  We went to eat at the Amazing Pizza Machine, which was yummy and fun!  We all had a great time there, then headed to my parent's house for key lime pie!  The kids loved seeing their Great grandparents and also enjoyed spending time with Mama Corinne and Papa Mark as well as Uncle Liam and Auntie April!!!  It was a very fun birthday and I could not think of a better way to spend it!!!  Uncle Rodney and (almost) Auntie Marysol also came, but we didn't get any pictures of them...  so sad!!!

We got the kids a new bed and it finally arrived!!!  They LOVE it!!!!  We also had some fun making the box the bed came in, into a club house...  until there was an earthquake (AKA Daddy shaking it).  We are having a fun week!  We also discovered a new store that we adore and got a new couch as well!!!!

Alexia had a very fun birthday and birthday party!  For her birthday we got her a gift and ate cake after dinner!  Her birthday party was today (Saturday the 21st)!!!  A few people were going to come, but wound up getting the tummy bug that is going around, but we still had a great turn out!  Lex loved spending time with her family and friends and loved her gifts and her doll cake!  It is always fun to pass family traditions to the next generation!  We will dig through old pictures and try to find a picture of mommy's third birthday cake to post! 

We are all looking forward for a relaxing month!  Next event will be mommy's birthday/Valentine's Day!!!  Exciting!

We are having lots of fun!  Just thought we would post some pictures!  :)  Nothing too exciting going on!  It is mommy's last week of maternity leave.  :(  We have gotten into a pretty great routine and are really enjoying being a family of 5!  We are even brave enough to venture out of the house with all 3 kids!!!!
