Saturday, we went to our friend Alex's house for her annual Tet Party which celebrates the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. She has a son two days older than Morgan named Albert and a 4 year old named Samuel. She is also the person who turned us onto Inglemoor Co-op Preschool so Morgan and Albert are well acquainted. When we got there Morgan grabbed my legs in shyness for about 3 seconds until he saw Albert and all the toys. Oh boy were there toys! They have an awesome kitchenette pretend play set that Morgan headed right for. He loves cooking! We reallly want to get one for him once the upstairs is done. Anyway, Morgan literally did not stop running around the entire time we were there. He had the happiest look on his face too. He looked like he was in heaven with all the toys and kids to play with. There was also some great food and people there.
Here are some pictures from the Party...

Sunday, Beth and Jim came over and babysat so that Steve and I could go out to dinner and a movie on Valentine's Day. We wound up hitting some President's day sales at the outlet mall and got some amazing deals on baby clothes. An intersting note about the outlet mall is that it was filled with people from all over the world. We are guessing this has to do with the Winter Olympics and a lot of people are staying in the area since Vancouver, BC is booked solid. Anyway, then we went and saw 'The Wolfman' which was very dissapointing. The trailer was far better than the actual movie. It was lacking substance which is sad because there were great actors in it. After that we went to dinner at the Belt Sushi place in Smokey Point by Target and it was super YUMMY. It was the best sushi I have ever had. It was extremely fresh and fun because all the sushi is going around on a little conveyer belt in front of you and you just grab what looks good. The only problem is EVERYTHING looks good so we wound up eating way too much. Plus the chefs were Japanese and knew what they were doing and they put on a little show for everyone with a good sense of humor. I highly recommend going there. I can't wait to go back. When we got home Lily was sleeping and Morgan was playing with Beth and Jim. Both kids seriously love them bunches. It's nice to go out and not worry one bit because you know the people watching your kids have it covered.
Monday, Steve had to go back to work and my Mom hung out all day with me and the kids.
Alright, now I am going to back up to the Friday before the weekend. Klayton came over to hang out with me and the kids all day. It was very relaxing. We just hung out chatted some and he played with the kids and helped me out. He also brought some X-mas presents he had bought for the kids. He got Lily and Morgan some really cool clothes. Morgan got a Pink Floyd t-shirt(which he is wearing in the above photos) and an awesome Paul Frank monkey hoodie. Lily got two cool shirts, one of which is black (hehehe) with a unicorn on it, and a beautiful brown embroidered cardigan. I am so lucky to have awesome friends and family with such great taste in clothes. My babies are always well dressed. Well, except Morgan who has decided lately that pants and socks are no good. He runs around with no pants or socks on all the time now. :)
Here is Klayton holding Miss Lily. Is it just me or does she look a little like Minnie mouse?!
Here is Lily super excited stomping her feet.
The end.
(Hair Disclaimer: Yes, Morgan's hair is out of control! We are getting him a haircut ASAP. We are going to keep it long and just bring it up an inch or two to get it out of his eyes.)
