Lucky In Love

I was called to be in charge of the Relief Society Activities in my ward. For our first activity of the year we decided to do an activity all about LOVE. (Strengthening your relationship with your spouse and other loved ones.) It was February so I was in the mood for hearts!... But the activity was in March. SO I tied in the two and called it 'Lucky in Love.' I was happy with how it all came together.

Half of the tables had a 'Lucky' theme...

and the others had a 'LOVE' theme! Pink and green (and gold) were the colors. I am fond of that color combination (Those were my wedding colors.)

Since the activity was all about LOVE I interviewed a bunch of women in our ward and asked them questions about their spouse- how they met, and stuff like that. I also collected pictures of everyone with their spouse when they were dating. I think the movie turned out super cute. It took me a LONG LONG LONG time to make but I was happy with the outcome! Since we were watching a movie I thought it would be fun to have popcorn. 

Danielle made this cute popcorn and found the cutest popcorn containers. I was so excited! 

Since it was a LUCKY theme I figured we better have a few prizes!! For a handout we made scratch-its for each person and them attached to a bag of chocolate hearts. We had a few prizes, Lucky Charms and a couple boxes of chocolates. 

After the movie we had two people speak. Christy Dustin spoke on keeping the 'spark' alive in your marriage and Kendall spoke about the different Love languages. Both of them did awesome! It turned out to be a fun night!

Love Day!

We didn't do much for Valentine's Day except I made crepes for Breakfast. I pretty much make them on every holiday because they are my favorite! In the evening we went to a party and Craig and Alicia's. It was really cute and fun too!

Snow Days

We had a few Snow Days. We even got to miss church. haha! It was SO much fun. Best snow we've had in years!!!!!!!

Comic Con

Logan received a flyer in the mail for Comic Con. We had no idea it came to Portland. Logan loves collecting old toys and of course our family loves Batman... so we thought it would be a fun family event... and it WAS! We all had so much fun!

There were so many fun things to see!!

So many super heros...Little boy heaven!

Wesley was not feeling very well but we had bought the tickets way in advance so we dragged him a long. He sat in the stroller the whole time.... except for when he saw the Storm troopers. For them, he was willing to get out of his stroller. He carries around a little storm trooper toy with him all. the. time. 

Logan and the boys love to watch a show on the Travel Channel called 'Toy Hunter.' The Toy Hunter goes around the country finding old toys and sells them in different cities. We had no idea that the toy hunter was going to be there. When we saw him we were in shock! We were even more excited when they filmed us and made us sign a release to be on the show! We are keeping our fingers crossed that we make a quick appearance!!! ... and Speaking of TV... my Mom did happen to see Logan in the background on the news when they did a segment about Comic Con! 

Jordan, 'The Toy Hunter' was a very nice guy!!

We drove separate so that I could take Bentley and Wesley home when they were ready. After we left Logan and Baylor were able to meet Adam West and Burt Ward... Batman and Robin!! So cool! Logan got this photograph autographed for the boys room... 

'To The May Bros' So awesome!!!!

Christmas Eve

Here we are, all ready to start the Christmas festivities! There's nothing better then that feeling on Christmas knowing that EVERYTHING is DONE and you just get to enjoy the holiday! I like to get dressed up a little for Christmas Eve, and then stay comfy cozy all day on Christmas. 

So excited!!!

Poor little Bentley was so sick. :( Bad timing! A couple of days prior he had had a temp of 105! That was so scary. He was carrying around all three of those bears from the Festival of Nativites for days and days.

On Christmas Eve we drove around for a little while listening to Christmas music then went to Grandma and Grandpa May's. We had a yummy ham dinner. Alicia & Craig came with their new baby and Craig's boys. We had so much fun watching everyone's Christmas videos. The kids did the live Nativity and then we opened presents. The boys looked so comfy and cute in their new PJ's from Grandma. Bentley was a SAD sad boy for most of the night. It made for a memorable Christmas Eve that's for sure. Aside from that it was a wonderful night!

Bridgeport Village

 My friend Kendall recommended that we go to Bridgeport Village to visit so we did... and it was so much fun! It was so cute, and the shopping is amazing! Of course we had our kids so the shopping was limited... but we will be going back!! They had a little crepe shop so we enjoyed that as well. 

 Bentley has had some serious stranger anxiety! 

He was NOT loving sitting on Santa's lap!

They have a little train that goes around the shopping center. They give the kids bubbles to blow while they are riding it. Wesley was on Cloud nine!!
