Sweet Valentines

Lauren got together with her friends in Pearland to celebrate Valentine's Day. They ate lots of sweet treats, danced, played with bubbles and exchanged cards. Lauren was so cute passing out her Valentine cards and she loved looking through her bag of cards and treats. It brought back fun memories of Valentine parties at school as a kid. I know that Lauren isn't there yet, but this was a perfect little party to start those memories.

Wildlife Park

Our playgroup visited a wildlife park and it was amazing. I hope you can tell from the pictures how unbelievable this place is. The kids got to see the animals really close up, feed them and touch them. It was super cool! We rode on an open tram for about 40 minutes and the animals would come up to the tram and eat out of your bucket of food. Lauren wasn't scared of the big animals at all, but the petting zoo was a different story. She would let a huge ostrich or camel get right next to her, but she wanted nothing to do with the goats and pigs in the petting zoo.

Sesame Street Live!

Lauren's wildest dream finally came true! She got to see Elmo, Abby and the whole Sesame Street gang in person. She was on the edge of her seat the entire time with this look of amazement in her eyes. Her smile was so big and it was so much fun to see her get so excited. It is really fun as a parent to do something for your child that totally amazes them. I think this definitely falls in to that category for Lauren.


I think this picture is worth a thousand words.
Could Lauren be smiling any bigger?

On the edge of her seat!

Here's the low down on Lauren's outfit. Elmo t-shirt, Zoe hair clip, Elmo tatoo on her right arm, and Abby tatoo on her left arm. Her Daddy still couldn't resist buying Lauren a souvenir t-shirt.
