I love the flowers in Hawaii.

Valentine's Cookies-The Easy Way

Zoe really enjoys baking, but I have a hard time finding time to bake with her in the evening or on the weekends for that matter. With school, work and all of the other things I have going in my life-baking has taken the back burner. On Valentine's Day-I know it was a long time ago, we used ready made dough to make cookies. Shannon was out of town and we hung out at home that night. We rolled the dough into balls, sprinkled sugar, put them in the oven, took a bath and frosted them when they cooled. She was super excited!!! The other night the two of us did start a batch of cookies pretty late in the evening, and she LOVED using my Kitchen Aid to mix the dough.

Reading-all by myself

Hailey LOVES books. Sometimes we don't get to her quick enough and she reads on the couch before bed at night. One night after bath and pj's I walked into the living room and saw her with one of her books (The Very Hungry caterpillar). She LOVES Goodnight Gorilla and Goodnight Moon. We have a pretty funny version of Goodnight Gorilla and she definitely has her favorite pages. When she opens up the book she always goes to the page with the eyeballs first-we have to say our version, she laughs really hard and then we start from the beginning.

A Glimpse of Hawaii

Here are just a few pictures of the girl's. I promise to post a whole lot more after we get back home. We are having a great time, it has been HOT the past few days, and the girl's are much tanner now than they were in these pictures. We LOVE it here!!! Our plan is to come back on December 26th for almost 2 weeks again.
