February weather is interesting. It can snow like crazy one day, and the snow is gone the next. Valentine's day was snowy and cold, but we were snug and warm inside reading by the fire. Valentine's dinner was a last-resort-sort-of thing. Because we were HUNGRY and Outback Steak House could not have take out ready until after 7:30, we opted for Cafe Rio take out, which was good, but not the viande rouge we had dreamed of.
Sunday the family was on its own for dinner, so we had a more intimate dinner, joined only by Chelsea Gibbs. On President's Day evening the family all joined us for a huge Olaf salad. We missed Rob and the Hastings kids who spent the day on the ski slopes. Clara and Anna did a good job of making up for the missing members of their family. We baked a batch of cookies to finish the evening.
The Valentine's Day storm left us about5 or 6 inches of snow to shovel
It looks wintery but was gone in a day

Wow so much snow! Beautiful flowers!Looks like a nice weekend over all! Tell my sisters they stink I didn't get to go to Coldplay with them and now I will miss Miss Saigon!
Sorry Maren.
YOu got WAY more snow than we did. I think a couple of winters ago we were the ones that kept getting socked. I like it this way much better.
What a cute and fun picture of the two of you reading... Its prolly my fave! Nothing ever happens in Blay, its all the say, boring boring boring! Anyway... Maren, you should come up and go to the play with us just for a few days!
I would love to! Are you paying? Just one of the things I have to deal with being away, oh well.
