Valentines Day

For Valentines Day this year I went all out. I'd have to say this is one of my favorite holidays. Ask my husband or my mom, my solution to almost any problem is love. Haha, so how could I not love a holiday all about love! Plus you gotta love the colors, pink, red, white, purple. We live those colors at this house.

So the weekend before Valentines day we got a package in the mail from Grandma full of fun Valentines Day candy and surprises. One of the things the girls and I got were aprons. The girls call them their baking suits and HAVE to wear them anytime we bake. Here we are trying them on.



It wasn't long before they convinced me we need to BAKE something in them. Haha. Logan was a little sad that Ryan said NO WAY to him wearing my apron. (He wanted one too) So Ryan let him wear one of his shirts and he was happy about that.




So when Monday came around it was BEAUTIFUL outside. It was the first nice day all year. So the kids and I walked to the gas station to get some candy bars to make a valentine for Daddy!



The kids had a blast helping me make it and especially walking to Daddy's office and delivering it to him!

We hurried home and then Mom got ready for a fancy Valentines Lunch for when Daddy came home for lunch!

We had scrambled eggs (dyed pink of coarse) baked inside crescent rolls (cut out in heart shapes) with Pink fruit smoothie. And the kids favorite part, I put sprinkles on top of the smoothies!




I *think* the kids liked it :)










For Dinner I surprised them with Valentines Day balloons (they LOVE balloons!)






and heart shaped homemade pizza on heart shaped plates.




Happy Valentines Day!! We LOVE you and hope your Valentines was wonderful as well!
