4-H PJ Pants Sewing Workshop





I took Maggie to a sewing workshop with 4H.  She cut and began sewing a pair of pajama pants.  She was able to use a serger machine on 2 of her seams.  I was so jealous of the kids getting to use one.  With my tax refund, I decided to buy us a used serger for her to finish her pants at home.  Maggie was so excited that I was buying one that she chose to ride with me to pick it up!

Ash Wednesday


For the first time since 2020, we were able to celebrate Ash Wednesday at church.  Due to covid, we didn't attend church in 2021 and 2022.  The weather canceled services in 2023.

 

Valentine's Day



The tradition of heart shaped pizza for Valentine's Day was continued with a HyVee pizza and a heart shaped cookie cutter.

February Birthdays







Peyton turned 19 and Jake turned 14 this month.  We also celebrated Beth's birthday.  Peg made baked quesadillas for everyone.  I made Beth a strawberry pretzel salad for her birthday.  Maggie enjoyed gaming with Jake while Philomena and I enjoyed chatting with my mom and sisters.  It was a relaxing afternoon with family!
