Valentine's Day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!










Of course, the girls got valentine's day shirts so I had to get a few pictures of them. It's so hard to say no when Baylee looks at me and says "we look so cute...you should take our picture!"

Dave had to work Saturday morning, as usual, but when he came home he had some beautiful flowers for me. I decided to post some pictures since this is VERY rare that Dave buys flowers.





After the morning activities, and shoveling the driveway twice, we headed down to Ryan and Nina's for Ellie's birthday party. I didn't get many pictures but here are some good ones.

Baylee reading to the kids...

Opening presents

Valentine Treats

As promised...here are the Valentine's (crafts) that Baylee and Avery made for their friends and cousins this year. After they completed the bead heart we tied it onto the sugar cookies that they had decorated. They had a lot of fun picking out a pattern that they thought their friends and cousins would like the very best. These girls are so much fun, and I am loving staying home with them!!!

Cookies...Again


Kira working on her "rainbow cookie" and Baylee was so amazed!

Avery doing what she does best...eating the icing.






Cute Girls!!


My girls love to decorate sugar cookies...for any occasion! These are Avery's favorite cookies to eat, but Baylee doesn't really care for them. The both love to decorate and make a huge mess with the frosting and decorations.
Today we had Kira, Kayleigh, Cayden, River, Marisa, Cressida and Jackson over for the big activity. It's so much fun for the kids to get together...we're lucky to live so close. Here are a few pictures of the little ones at work!

Valentine's Fun















We are so anxious for winter to be over. The girls are going stir crazy so I decided that I better gets some crafts for them to work on during the day to keep them entertained. Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, they have been working hard on making their Valentine presents. These are some pictures of the ceramic hearts that they painted. They actually did a great job and it was so much easier to clean up than I expected. I made them wear old clothes just in case they got dirty so don't pay attention to the outfits and messy hair...they're still cute! Lots more craft pictures to come...Stay Tuned!
