May The Force Be With You

Ben had a great time at his sleepover1 Such a big boy. I can't believe he is so big. Friday night while he was sleeping over the rest of us went to dinner with some missionaries. Our church hosts a big missions weekend every could of years where they bring in lots of missionaries to share. Our life group went out to dinner with one of the couples on Friday. It was great to get to visit with them and hear about their work in South Africa. It was also lots of fun to hang out with friends.

Saturday we had a super fun morning planned for the kiddos. Ben and Matt went and saw Star Wars Episode 1 in 3D while Kate and I went and saw Beauty and the Beast. Everyone's favorites! The kids had a blast!! Here we are before the movies. Kate wore her Belle shirt and Ben wore his Star Wars shirt (it was really bright in the movie theater lobby so the phone pictures didn't turn out very well).
Kate LOVED the movie. She sat and watched most of it (the last 15 minutes were rough but we made it through). She especially loved the big bag of popcorn.

It was so cool because after the movie the lobby was full of all sorts of Star Wars characters you could get your picture with. Ben thought it was so cool!!! Here he is with Jango Fett.
And a Storm Trooper. They had very realistic looking weapons.
There was also a Jedi with a very cool light saber.
After the movies we enjoyed a lazy evening at home. Ben worked on his valentines for the big party tomorrow.
Today was church activities. I managed to get a picture of the kiddos in their cute clothes. Kate was not very happy. They did look very Valentiney though!
Now I guess it is time to start another exciting week. This will be a big one with Valentines activities and some other fun things. And just 3 weeks until Disney!!!!!
