Last night after the girls went to bed I got to work: I decorated the kitchen table with lots of pink and red. Pink table cloth, pink balloons, Valentine place mats, Valentine dishes, their chair envelopes with a heart on it, well....you get the idea.

The look on their faces when they woke up was priceless! (If only I had my camera ready!) They were SO excited!!! They loved all of the decorations and enjoyed cards, candy (Mmmm!) and little gifts. For breakfast I made cinnamon rolls (their favorite), strawberries and of course.....pink milk (yummy!!).
I remember how much fun it was having Valentine's day on a school day growing up. You got to decorate a bag for all the Valentines, bring cards for the class, and have a party/exchange. It is fun to see that same excitement now with Ella. She was SO excited to bring her cards to her class and her gift to her teacher! The last hour of class was their party and parents/siblings were invited to come. (So Abby too was very excited!!) The school had tables for the kids to decorate cookies, and then they watched a cute little Franklin Valentine movie afterwards:
On the way home I treated the girls to "Old MacDonald's" for a happy meal. (We rarely do this, so it was a BIG treat for them!) Then we spent part of the afternoon making and decorating cupcakes. (And eating them of course!)

| Thumbs up for yumminess! |
Abby really took her time and then I learned why: =)
 |
| "One for me...." |
 |
| "One for the cupcake..." |
It was so much fun! After an afternoon of playing outside on the swings and many, many games of hide and seek, I sit back now and am so grateful for all the love in my life. I have a wonderful husband, and two amazing daughters. I could not ask for anything more! The love they all give warms my heart each and every day! Happy Valentine's Day to my amazing family! I love you SO much!!!!
