Happy Happy V Day

My kids have been asking about Valentines day since January. We saw princess and spider man valentines one day and that was it. Every day I had to tell them how many more nights we had to go to bed before we could give out our Valentines (that I insisted we wait until Feb 1st to fill out). My goodness we have been ready for this day for along time. They spent hours writing their names and thier friends names on the cards. Ambra takes such pride and satisfaction in knowing how to do this and it was a time that I could spend with Cole working on his name and tracing his friends names. ONce those were done, we spent the other 14 days making valentines out of doileys and construction paper. They love to be crafty. When daddy came home we posted them all over the kitchen when you walk in from the garage and gave him a "heart attack". We also made big huge heart cookies that were all decked out with everyones names and of course a disgusting amount of sprinkles and candy hearts.
The kids got sandals this year for thier little Valentine. I hit a killer deal at Shopko payless and got 5 pairs of shoes for 23 bucks. I love to get deals like that.
My mom made these adorable little jackets and hats for the girls. The jackets are matching and the hats match except for Ariahs is green. THey look cute in them.
Colie was a lucky little ducky and got spiderman gear from both is grandmas. My mom sent him this cute little outfit and Adam's mom sent him a spiderman swimsuit. What a spoiled kid. So many people to love him.
I didn't turn this picture. Sorry, I didn't realize it until it was posted. This is the little hat my mom made. She is eating one of the suckers from Sees that Adam had delivered.
The kids got thier Valentine from Grandma Hacker the day before V day. They were thrilled with all the fun stuff inside. Ambra got this extra sparkly jacket (anything sparkly is a hit. She wears it everywhere) and Cole got a swimsuit. Ariah got bibs and everyone got enough candy for a sugar high. Valentines is such a cute holiday. Fun to send thigns to those you love.
