Valentine's Day!

I have made it a little tradition to get the kiddos dressed up for a little photo shoot on Valentines Day. Although a photo shoot with a 2 and 4 year old is never easy, it's still fun to try! The photos are a bit out of order, but I am too tired to fix it. ;) So, here's my sweeties on Valentine's Day 2014! 

LOL! This was actually the last picture taken...she was DONE! :)

chase! 

not wanting to be caught!

our heart cut out french toast we had for breakfast :)

February 2nd...the day Ryan turned 4!!!

Celebrating the kids' bdays is one of my favorite things!! We have started some fun traditions for their actual birthday and it's just so fun! Here is Ryan's birthday in pictures: 

While they are sleeping, I put streamers on their door and the number of balloons that matches their age!

I was so excited for him to wake up....but he just kept sleeping away! 

watching a birthday card sent from Grandma and Grandpa Ekk

We have cinnamon rolls for birthdays....the coffee is not his ;) 

letting his sister help him open his first present! 

We went to church and then headed to Fresno where Nana  and Pa  met us for a delicious lunch at Tokyo Steakhouse. Ryan felt so special with his Happy Birthday balloon! 

Ryan ate all of his rice with the kids' chop sticks! 

loving watching the show! 

CHEESE!! 

We then went to spend the day at Nana and Pa's where he was given more gifts! :) 

Ryan's birthday cupcakes! 

Nana also made him his favorite dinner: cheese pizza with lemonade! :) 

so excited! 

getting ready to blow out the candles! 

Someone else really enjoyed the cupcakes as well! 

We love you sweet Ryan! So excited to see what this year holds for you!
