Skating with the Slacks, Lego Building and Chinese New Year Lunch

Wow, I have clearly fallen behind because even though I did quite a few posts in February, they were mainly getting the 2015 weekly photo project all caught up and almost nothing about what we actually did that month. I will do the February monthly post too but don't want it to be absolutely overflowing with photos so doing a couple of catch up posts first.

Starting off with a fun skating afternoon we did with Linden and Dane! Then they came over for lunch and ended the afternoon with baseball playing at Manson park with Uncle Jim and their Dad. James was absolutely thrilled to spend a whole afternoon with these guys!

James and I have fallen in love with Lego over the past few months and this was the first set that we bought. He loved building the sets and was awesome at reading the directions and finding the pieces he needed. I see many many hours in our future of Lego building!

We took all the things apart and he just built buildings

And here was another set that we did

And the third and final set a few weeks later once we were back home again

Mrs. Butula planned a really fun Chinese Lunar New Year parade and lunch for the class and asked parents to help out and to bring in just a small little bit of veggies for all of the kids to share. One little boy in James's class named Alex is Chinese and his parents came in and all of the kids in the class got to make dumplings...they were so so good! There were also homemade spring rolls that were made by another mom that were absolutely fantastic!

Here is James making his dumpling

Baby Gracie was there too of course

After dumpling making the kids walked through the school with these dragon heads on and did a little Chinese New Year parade.

Blake was there and loved walking with James

The kids were so well behaved and the mom's helped out by taking the trays of food around and the kids were told to say lots of please and thank you's. I had a really good time and was glad to have the morning off so that I could be there!

It's fuzzy, but still a cute picture of Blake!

And James and Quynn

This is a selfie from that afternoon when James came to my office to sit for a bit till his Dad could come and pick him up :)

Even though I was super sick for most of February we still ended up having a ton of fun throughout the month. More every day photos to be included in the February memories post coming up soon.
