Love In Leavenworth

Chad and I got to spend Valentine's weekend in Leavenworth with our friends, Derek and Amy.  (Click HERE to see Amy's post about our adventures.) I LOVE Leavenworth, but having just been there in September, I will say that one doesn't really need to visit too frequently.  Not much changes in the quaint Bavarian town (not Bar-varian, I'll thank you Chad and Amy not to mock me), including the Christmas decorations that were still adorning the stores in mid-February.  (I frown upon this; Christmas decor isn't special if it's not December.) 

We had such a fun time with our friends. 

The boys had a really super fun time shopping around the gift shops.  Chad and Derek just love to shop.  Real men love porcelain cats wearing hats and stuffed animals.  You can tell by these cheesy grins just exactly how much they enjoyed this portion of the trip.  Happiness abounded!

Now just look at the sincere grins on these girls' faces.  We loved the shopping, and even more than that, we loved the eating.  A real highlight for me was eating delicious food that I didn't have to shop for, prepare, or clean up afterwards. Food always tastes better when these three elements have occurred without my involvement.  We ate delicious food all weekend!  I LOVED IT!


In the true spirit of Valentine's, let me proclaim that I had a wonderful time with my favorite man in the world.  
It was delightful! 
♥Happy Valentine's Day, Chaddy!♥

Thank you to our Edwards friends for a super fun get-away.  We collectively decided that this is something we will do every other weekend.  Do you think our children and their caregivers will mind?   Chase, who is currently (as I type) pulling on my shirt and telling me that he's hungry, doesn't seem to give his seal of approval.  Maybe we'll shoot for annually instead of bi-monthly. 

Thank you very much to Grampa and Gramma for watching our boys for us!  We appreciate you and love you!  (I didn't even mind that Caden called me 'Gramma' for three days afterward.....well.....I minded a little, but it was totally worth it!)

On another note, I changed the text font on my blog to match my post and sidebar titles.  Do we like this, or does it make it harder to read all these words?  Cast your vote, please!

Holly... I LOVE your new blog design. So super cute friend! Font is awesome and pictures are just adorable too! I haven't been to Leavenworth in about three years or so. I wanna go again!

Karin said...

love your new layout Holly! supercute and, for me, I think the font is a bit more difficult to read, but it's totally worth it because it's so darn cute!

Like the font, but not as much as that picture of Chad with the stuffed animals! PRICELESS!!!

That picture was supposed to fall under the "what happens in Leavenworth, stays in Leavenworth".......
