Valentine's and President's Day Weekend

Brad and I enjoyed our three day Valentine/President's Day weekend. I thought I'd just share some tidbits.

First of all, for Valentine's Day Brad and I decided indulge inn a fancy waffle breakfast with whipped cream and fresh fruit. Everything was divine, but we learned a few things. For instance:
  • DO color the whipped cream pink
  • DO NOT try to color the waffles purple, unless you want mostly normal looking waffles with puce border (I guess mauve is more accurate, but puce sounds more dramatic). Tastes fine, looks disgusting.

Valentine's night we headed to Rexburg because Lydia missed her grandparents and cousins. Lydia loved being at Grandma's house.


When Grandma told Lydia she had a "grandkid drawer," Lydia took it a little too literally.


We convinced Grandma and Grandpa to come to Big Jud's with us.
 Brad took on the Big Jud.

Here's the comparative, baby to burger shot: 


 I got in trouble for doubting, but he made it. Brad conquered the Big Jud.
 
We spent lots of time with the Anderson cousins – though we were bad at taking pictures. Abigail and Saylor took it upon themselves to serve as Brad's "shoes" all weekend while Rigdon kept Lydia occupied.   Grandma Myrna hosted Sunday dinner for Andersons, Aunt Linda, and us. We had a blast.

Lydia chased Linda's dog around forever. She was fearless, and I worried way more about the dog getting hurt than Lydia.

Before we left Rexburg, we saw Uncle Chris, Aunt Ashley, Cousin Johnathon, Aunt Jenny, and soon-to-be Uncle Daniel.



Last but not least, we announced our new arrival. It's a boy!
