February in a nutshell [pictorial edition]

Pictures, finally!

Last month, Christina and I decided it was high time for a girls' night out, especially since our husbands went on a NEVERENDING movie/dinner date a while back (seriously, they were gone for almost 6 hours). So the two of us plus our other friend Amy went to Ra for sushi while the daddies watched the girls.

Sean and David took them to the mall to play and have dinner. Here they are being silly on the playground.

These two are so cute together.

Here is Giada at her 1st birthday party at The Little Gym. Love that sweet outfit!

Jumping down the air-track

Mmmm, cupcakes.

Finley's tea party...here are the kids decorating their crowns. Gabby is in her fancy ball gown.

Time for tea!

Christina's "staff"...her parents and Sean, serving up the goodies.

When my parents came to visit, my mom and David's mom took Gabby to Nokia to see Sesame Street Live. It was a weekday so I missed it, but it looked pretty cool.

Gabby spent most of the time sitting on Grandma's lap, shoveling popcorn.

My mom reported that she did pretty well during all of the audience participation parts.

Reading stories with my dad

I am not sure exactly how this came about, but it sure was funny.

My mom attempted to take a cute picture with Gabby...as usual, she was less than cooperative.

Dinner at Bluefish...they made our Ahi Tower into a heart :) This is probably my most favorite thing to eat, ever.

Gabby ate more edamame than I ever though possible.

Happy 39th Anniversary!

Lunch at Cafe Express with our families

Gabby requested that Grandpa sit next to her...it wasn't long before she had crawled into his lap.

And now we see why...Grandpa has french fries!

Story time again. This book must have been really bright.

For some reason, the cats have been extra huggy lately.

Playing at our neighborhood playground. They walked over every day that the weather was decent.

You can definitely tell she has warmed up to my dad.

She is getting pretty good!

I love the tiny body with the huge helmet.

Outrunning my parents...quite gleefully, it appears.
