Disney On Ice

We just got back from an awesome show of Disney on Ice.  Gramma treated the girls to this fun-filled performance for Valentine's Day.  We were quite amazed by the talent on the ice with amazing jumps, lifts and spins.  The show was fantastic and very well done.  We also had second-row seats which didn't hurt. :-)

 Maggie was smiling ear-to-ear for the whole show.  It was so cute to watch her reactions.

 Arial and Prince Eric

 Rapunzel and Maximus the Horse.

 Merida from the new Disney movie, Brave

 "Be our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast

 Flounder from "The Little Mermaid" (Maggie loves Flounder!)

 Finale

 All the princesses and princes came out for a final bow

 Thank you Gramma for the wonderful treat!

Our new kitchen!

Over the past couple of weeks we have had our kitchen getting enhanced!  We took out the old white tile and replaced the kitchen counters with granite.  We also had our kitchen cabinets refurbished with a company called NHance.  They take the old cabinets and give them new life.  It is a more cost effective way to make the kitchen look new.  To top it off, I got an AMAZING stainless steel single-basin sink...it is huge!  I also got a new stove with 5 burners.  We are so happy to have this beautiful kitchen.  We hope future home buyers will love it too!

Before:  White tile/white grout

Before: Kitchen cabinets looked worn and abused.

 Before:  Lots of scuffs and dings in the wood finish

After:  The final kitchen

 After: The final cabinets

 So pretty!  So happy!

 Bye-bye old kitchen!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our Valentine Monkeys!

Another trip to Disneyland

A couple weeks ago we took another trip to Disneyland.  It was quickly planned but we had so much fun (again)!  We are loving our season passes!

 Kate also tried Tower of Terror...she hated it and has decided she will never ride it again!

 Maggie and I loved riding Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters several times.

Can you guess we love Disneyland a bit? ;-)

Rain!

We just got back from a little stroll around the block.  The girls loved wearing their rain boots and splashing in the puddles.  Lexi seemed to be glad to get out of the house too!
