Bri Corner: February = Bri's Favorite Month

Early morning on February 1st, Bri and Ben still in bed. Bri wakes up "Happy February BEN!!!" A startled Ben sleepily replies, "happy february honey."

I never get Christmas let down - okay maybe sometimes - but usualy never. Do you know why? Its because February is my favorite month. Top reasons My Birthday and VALENTINES DAY.

My birthday is cool because I usually always have someone to share it with. First it was President Regan, who sent me an awesome white house packet when I was 6. Then friends in school shared my day and even my high school French exchange teacher. Later I found out my good buddy Tawona shared my birthday too, we met at UW freshmen oreination back in 2001. And now my Niece Olivia who just turned 7, we met in 2004 when I married into the family.

Valentines day has always been my favorite. We decorate the house in conversation hearts (for the whole month), some of them say "1+1=3" and "wanna make out?" while others say "just friends" and "washing my hair." I usually buy some cool PJs and a $5 Old Navy tee (sadly, not this year), I get to eat chocolate, bake yummies, go out on a date, recieve a meaningful gift and watch a chick flick! Back in the day I had some pretty crazy adventures in high school on Valentines day, which included things like: the Kingsmen, scavenger hunts, sledding, etc... all on video too.

This year February has had a couple extra cool events. Such as a High Tea, a baby shower, and a stampin' up party. All very fun things. Here are some pictures and comments of all said events.
