I love consignment stores! I always find real treasures! Like brand new Hanna Anderson long sleeve shirt for Eli for $2.99 or a lovely princess dress for our baby girl 1st B day photo shot for $3.99. Love it! Love it! And the best of all is that I always get a million kisses from Eli for his new clothes! There is nothing better than a thankful child!

OK. You get to see the Olympics since they are happening almost in your backyard. We picked Saturday after the opening ceremony. It was cold, windy and rainy day. We took a sky train from Surrey to downtown Vancouver and walked up to the waterfront to see the torch. It was fun. We had a lunch there and drove home.It was too cold. No lines at the border! The Czechs got one gold and two bronze medals so far. The speed skater Sablikova got gold! She is from our little town!!! and she is a tiny little thing! Compare to the Dutch "monsters"
Spring is here! Tulips are coming out. Crocuses and trees are blooming! And the calender says it's Febuary! We have spent lots of time outside biking, walking, gardening, and playing on playgrounds. Check out my wesite at the end of this week at www.lilianabeautycare.com We surely have put lots of time into it. Sofia is turning one on Saturday! She is not walking yet she is just "knee walking". So precious!
We made our annual trip to Vancouver last week and it was a lot of fun! Eli was absolutely excited about the number of pillows in a hotel room and yes - the elevator! I love shopping and dining in Portland! we took the kids twice to a restaurant. THE HIGGINS in downtown was great, maybe a little too fancy for our kids (candles, white tableclothes and everyone in suits and ties) Eli wasn't quite seccessful with his request of a burger but we still had fun. The other night we tried Peruvian restaurant Andina. It was dynamic, live and the food was absolutely delicious! Sofia sat for over two hours in a high chair chewing on a lamb bone and blueberries while her parents and her brother indulged in variaty of tapas and great lamb. We finished with a lime cheese cake and ginger ice cream. Apart from fine dining we walked, shopped, visited a museum, played on a playgroung and lost few pounds in a gym.So much fun!
