Friday started off with a winter surprise: it snowed and the children got a day off school. While Derrick was at the office, I worked from home. There is always someone around me when I'm home:
But after an hour, the children were ready to embrace the cold and go out and have fun in the snow.
A little video clip:
The snow melted fairly quickly and by night time, all of it was gone. But the day was not yet over as Elliot and I had our first ever Mother-Son Dance that night. Every year around Valentine's Day, our local town hosts a Mother-Son and a Daddy-Daughter Dance and this year, we were able to participate in both. First up, Elliot and his mommy, all dressed up and ready to dance the night away:
My boy gave me rose!
There was a professional DJ and photographers, snacks and drinks and games. Not only the boys loved it but all the moms seemed to have a great time as well. The music was awesome and so we danced all evening. Look at those dance moves!
And a peck for me. What a memorable and fun night it was:
Saturday evening, it was Amelia's and Derrick's turn to head to their first ever Daddy-Daughter Dance. Daddy bought his girl some flowers and a corsage:

Of course, there was dancing too:

The children loved having this special one-on-one time with us and it was so fun. We definitely have to do it next year again.
Same venue, same DJ, all fathers and their girls. Many of our friends from church were there too:
