Daddy is out of town this weekend playing golf so me and Mommy got to spend a lot of great girl time together.  We shopped, ran some errands and had breakfast with Lila and Auntie Sammy at the Big Chicken restaurant.

Today was Valentines Day and we celebrated in our classroom with a party.  Mommy and Daddy came and had treats with me and afterward Daddy read some books to my classmates and me.

Daddy put together a new bunk bed for me and moved it into my new room.  It is soooo cool!  Now Lilia can come over for lots more sleepovers and have her own bed, too.

Mommy and Daddy went out for dinner and a movie tonight some of my classmates and I went to my school where a couple of our teachers watched us while we did arts and crafts, played games and watched a movie.  I always enjoy these Kids Night Out events.

We had the upstairs carpet replaced today and after that Daddy moved my bed across the hall into the fish room.  Earlier in the week Daddy and I painted my new room pink so it would be ready for the move.  My old room will be used as the nursery for my new baby sister.  How exciting!

Most of my Georgia family went to a Mexican restaurant this evening for dinner.  We go their often as it is my favorite place to go.  I always have chicken soup, a cheese quesadillia and french fries.  Oh, and dessert.  Can't forget the dessert.

Daddy came to school today and read books to my classroom.  He tries to drop by once a month or so.  My class always enjoys the time he spends with us.

My Georgia family all spent the evening at Auntie A's house celebrating January birthdays.  Auntie A, Auntie Sammy and cousin Nia were all born this month.  We had appetizers, pizza and cake.  While the adults visited and watch football the kids all played games and had fun.

Today I went to a birthday party for one of my friends from school.  Lots of my other friends were there as well.  Mommy and Daddy both came as well, which was nice.  We played games, ate pizza and had birthday cake.  I love parties!
