Happy Valentines Day!



The kids had so much fun searching for their little Valentines Day gift from Kevin and I. It's so fun to celebrate the holidays with the children. They also loved receiving cards in the mail from grandparents and cousins. The hit was the dollar they received from each grandparent.



We have made a tradition to try and eat everything red, pink, purple and white. Ashleigh had fun making the menu with me.

For breakfast we had pink pancakes with pink grapefruit juice and purple grapes.

For snack we had strawberry yogurt, pink grapefruit, and red pears.



For dinner we had lasagna, white french bread, red peppers, red jello jigglers and pink lemonade.
For dessert we had white angel food cake with pink sprinkles and raspberry chocolate chip ice cream.



We had so much fun ice skating on Valentines Day. We thought it might be crowded but it was perfect. The weather was awesome too. Brynn absolutely loved skating. She even went around by herself with the red walker.



Kamren loves ice skating. He was getting so hot in all his winter clothes. He was working really hard on those skates.



I walked around with Ashleigh while she skated with the little red helper. She really didn't want to stop either.



I'm so grateful for my family on Valentine's Day. They are wonderful.



Ashleigh has a daddy/daughter dance to go to this weekend. Ashleigh can't wait. I wanted to make this very special for her so I thought flowers would be a fun thing for her. I decided to save money and learn to make my own wrist corsage and boutineer. It was fun to learn it online and make them. I decided to use fake flowers so Ashleigh can play with it in her dress ups after the dance. She really loves that dad has a matching one too. It only cost me a dollar to make. I love a bargain and I love to try new things! It was very easy and fast to make too.
