The Robinson's: March 2011

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love Valentine's Day! This year we started the day with heart shaped pancakes with strawberries on the side. Then we had a family dinner- spaghetti with sauce poured in a heart shape! The kids got two Valentine's packages in the mail from Grammy/Poppa and Gran Gran/Big Daddy. They loved opening them and seeing all their goodies. Thankful for our grandparents!!

Snow!!

Well, it snowed again! We were excited this time because it snow on the weekend. Victor was home so, he was able to play with the kids this time. We had lots of fun making snowballs, and a snowman. Carson loves throwing snowballs and making snow angels. Brooklynn is beginning to enjoy the snow more (and getting better at moving around in all the layers of clothes:).

Cute kids in the snow!

Snow Angels!

Our Snowman!

Sledding

We have found a new fun activity- SLEDDING! We went to Mount Seymour with the Phillips in January to sled. We all had a blast! Carson loved it. He wanted to go down by himself on his red sled every time.

Victor and Brooklynn ready to go!

(Brooklynn is crying here, but she loved going down the hill:)

Carson's turn!

It was a beautiful day!

You can see Mt. Baker in Washington in the distance.

Happy New Year

This year we rung in the New Year with a family celebration. The kids and I made decorations, flags and party hats. I baked lots of snack foods. When Victor got home we all dressed up and got ready for our party! We had lots of fun (although none of us made it to midnight :).

Yummy Food!

Christmas

This Christmas was a first for us. We celebrated Christmas with just our family. We had a great time. We had a great time preparing for Christmas this year. Carson is at the perfect age and was so excited about everything. We put up the Christmas trees, visited Santa, looked at Christmas lights, threw out reindeer food, and baked cookies for Santa. Then on Christmas day, we skyped with family, the kids played with new toys, ate a delicious breakfast (homemade cinnamon rolls and sausage muffins), slept, and had a Christmas dinner at the Phillips.

With Carson getting older, we want to make sure we teach him why we really celebrate Christmas. A friend told me about the Jesse Tree- I love it! We made our tree and ornaments and were ready to go! Each night we had a devotion with Carson going through the lineage of Christ. I loved it because each day we were able to bring the focus to Christ, our Saviour. It was amazing to see Carson grasp the truth! This will defiantly be a tradition for us.
