Play Time

Jake and I try to get together with friends at least once a week. I'm very thankful for our play group and for people opening up their homes to us. The Friday before Valentine's Day we went to Nancy and Brooklynn's house for a special lunch date. I think Jake's two favorite things about play dates are being with his friends....here he is with one of the latest additions to the group, Emily... and playing with new toys...

Because of the Valentine's holiday, the kids got a special treat and decorated cookies. Here's Brooklynn's creation. She really wasn't interested in the cookie, just the icing...

I love, love, love this picture of Ally diving into her cookie. She seemed to be a sprinkles girl...

Of course, Jake and I couldn't miss out on the fun. Jake was not at all interested in standing still by the table to watch, much less attempt to decorate a cookie, so I made one and shared...
The Monday after Valentine's we were off to Cara and Owen's house. Again, Jake's favorite things were the cool toys and his friends. Owen has a really great train table. Jake loved it, and Owen was especially nice to share since Jake mostly liked to tear the tracks apart...

Cute Jake, the little one of the group (at least in this picture)...

After a couple attempts to turn these pics the right way, I'm just giving in and leaving them as is. Sorry. Just a couple more of cool, new stuff...
